Some say there can be no artistry without agony. And the real life-changing events that shape the creative spirit don’t happen overnight.
Beth Hart has been dealing with demons that have pursued her for her whole life: her older sister who died from complications from AIDS when Beth was only 20 and her own battle with drugs, booze, bad relationships, bad decisions and ultimately the diagnosis that tied the knot on the whole damn thing, bi-polar disorder. It’s enough to send anyone into a downward spiral that’s inescapable.
And on face value, her new album, "Better Than Home", is saying, “anything is better than those demons, so I’m gonna go out of my way to create something better than that.”
Beth’s putting those demons behind her, embracing the great things she’s done and the good things she has and looking forward, because no matter how bad things got sometimes, no matter how dark the sky, something always drove her into the light.
And this new album celebrates that with all that firepower she’s been generating over the years.
