The Starter Wife
The Starter Wife also examines toxic attractions—why and how broken people unite—the loss of innocence, and the changing needs of each person in a decade-long relationship. The playful title also speaks to the disposability of seemingly seismic relationships once the flame has burned out. What was once a lifelong commitment, post-divorce fades into an afterthought at best, or a fading resentment. The album organically flows through moments that are courageously confessional, darkly humorous, and powerfully self-reflective. And much like grieving, The Starter Wife finds its way to healing and hope.
