"If Aimee Mann had fended off cynicism, she might sound like Kendall Meade ...turn(ing) folk-rock into stately pop, wrapping vulnerability and longing in quietly radiant arrangements."

“Sticking the landing when it comes to maintaining the dreamiest qualities of Mascott in her new musical arrangements, Meade cracks that cloudy dream at the seams, sonically, by creating (or reliving) a dramatic lyrical narrative. By telling her sad-to-glad story in chronological order, you can hear her wear her broken heart on her bloodied sleeve.”

“Everything you told me, isn’t what you do / And I’ve been working hard, making sense of me and you / sings Meade on the surprisingly lighthearted prance around all the things that went wrong.” Recorded at Cottage Sounds with producer Charles Newman, “I’d Like to Know Myself” also includes a collection of other Los Angeles-based musicians, including drummer Butch Norton.

“From the Carly Simon School of Confessional Songwriting…Kendall Jane Meade combines soft piano and guitar pop with diary-like lyrical intimacy.”

“(Space is) an album different from anything Meade has done before. Its organic, often spacious arrangements informed by 90s indie rock and a confessed new “obsession” with classic singer-songwriter motifs….Meade has opened, or re-opened and certainly re-embraced, her muse.

“What pulls the listener in and through is Kendall Jane Meade’s beguiling singing voice. Soft and silvery, it’s the kind of voice that makes you wonder why some other people even bother to sing.”
