Bek-Jean Stewart’s 6th studio offering ‘Fierce Attachments’ delivers an impressive 18 song collection marked by their characteristic Americana flair. The double album, recorded at Leisure Suit Studios with long-time collaborator and mixing engineer Grant Shanahan, is a remarkable collection of women’s stories bringing to focus the uniquely feminine struggles to find their place in society, and the daily battle faced by ordinary women living in a seemingly unchanging male dominated society.

The fierce honesty of Stewart’s lyrics reveals a vulnerability that in previous albums ‘Records Are Written In The Bones’ and ‘Songs From The North’ has been lurking, always present, waiting to be truly seen. This album appears to peel back the layers, revealing an artist who is becoming increasingly comfortable in their own skin. Overall this is a more reflective album than Stewart’s last, delving deeper into their state of inner-ness, showcasing an increasing maturity, courage and complexity of songwriting.
