Her debut Good Woman was immediately considered one of the 40 best country albums in America in 2017. That self-released album did not reach Europe (to date), however. As a result, successor The Greatest Part feels like her real debut. An album on which she deals with the necessary demons. Mancari grew up in a heavily Christian environment. When she broke away from this, partly because of her lesbian
… feelings, she was attributed much guilt and damnation by her family. On The Greatest Part she now sings this away from herself. Yet it is by no means a heavy or sad record. She let go of the roots music of her debut somewhat and exchanged it for dreamy indie pop. Her voice is pleasantly melodic and light in color. A dark summer album, a strange contrast that does justice to the poignant The Greatest Part. (MR)more
