Best of 2021: Noah Britton Loved the Young@Heart Chorus This Year

Faye Webster’s second full-length 2019 album Atlanta Millionaires Club is a case-study in duality. The instrumentation (a heart-rending mix of pedal-steel, guitars and strings) recalls the country-folk of her musical upbringing but listen deeper and you’ll discover a soulful undertone to her vocal delivery, a spare groove laid down by her rhythm section; a subtle and elegant genre-bending which just happens to make her one of the most compelling young songwriters in music today.
The near-whisper of Webster&#8217;s voice feels like the embodiment of the maxim &#8220;speak softly and they’ll listen harder.&#8221; Singles &#8220;Kingston,&#8221; &#8220;Right Side Of My Neck&#8221; and &#8220;Flowers&#8221; (a brilliant collaboration with Atlanta rapper and Awful Records label-boss Father) are highlights on an album which has landed on multiple end-of-year best-ofs.
Webster’s talent doesn’t lie solely in music, her collection of portraits documenting the Atlanta hip hop scene are near-iconic and have made her a much in-demand photographer. She is also the proud owner of a line of signature yoyos,  a hobby-turned obsession she picked up on the road after a new drummer turned out to have a side-hustle as a yoyo professional.
