What Matters Most (LP)
Ben Folds
Amoeba Review
Ben Folds fans, rejoice! The singer-songwriter is back with his first album since 2015, and What Matters Most was worth the wait. “I want you to finish this record with something you didn’t have when you started,” Folds has said of his intentions with the new album, and these good-hearted, beautiful yet bittersweet songs certainly do just that. With songs about unanswered text messages and old acquaintances lost to online conspiracy theories, What Matters Most isn't just topical and relatable, it's also reassuring, warm, and hopeful. In short, it's the type of album many of us need right now: a companion for walking through the darkness, a whispered message that things are going to be alright.
