Carly Pearce named her 2021 mini-LP 29 after a tumultuous year in her life, 12 months that saw her get married and divorced and lose her close collaborator busbee to cancer. Pearce processes these significant changes by co-writing a collection of seven songs where she grapples with loss and growth, usually in a quiet, introspective fashion. The exception to the rule is "Next Girl," a sprightly kiss-off that doubles as the EP's opening track and lead single. "Next Girl" is poppy but in a retro sense -- it has none of the bright modern sheen busbee brought to his productions with him -- and it helps set the stage for six keening, searching autobiographical tunes. While Pearce's lyrics can occasionally be a bit too on-the-nose -- it's not that she delves into personal details, it's that she ties up her messy emotions with a tidy bow -- her vulnerability is endearing, and the craftsmanship, aided by producers Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, is sturdy, so the music retains its appeal even after the stories become familiar.
