Today on Too Opinionated we talk with Americana singer-songwriter Sweetlove about the release of her 6 track unplugged EP release 'Goodnight, Lover (stripped)'

Stripped down to rootsy grooves, lyrical heft, and Sweetlove's warm vocals, Goodnight, Lover is an exciting six-song portrait of an artist coming into her own. It is also the work and reflection of a woman grappling with devastating personal loss the best way she knows how. "I love that we've wrapped all of these beautiful musicians around the songs, and all this talent came in and lifted them to a place I never could have taken them alone," Sweetlove continues. "But it started with the stories."

Sweetlove has found her own refuge in songwriting after years of helping others showcase theirs. She sang backup vocals for Grammy-nominated and Tony award-winning artists, paying dues on huge stages. The daughter of a preacher and a teacher, she grew up in California's Simi Valley and experienced music as a natural part of life––not as a pursuit or a practice, but an extension of just being. Childhood Pentecostal religious services began with songs often sung by David's bearded, raspy-voiced father. "I grew up with his voice," Sweetlove says, before noting that many of his children––David's siblings––became professional musicians.

Now, after living in West Hollywood for the last 15 years, Sweetlove has drawn from her time sharing stages with superstars and that resonant voice that readied worshippers for interpreting tongues to create something that is entirely, beautifully hers.

Produced by Justin Glasco (The Lone Bellow), Goodnight, Lover puts Sweetlove's twin devotions to her earthy pop and the people she loves on magnificent display.
