Release Date: 14th August

What a lovely oaky sound and vibe Johanna Samuels brings, it's 70s without being retro at all, it's songwriting and performance that sits as a timeless piece and with personal songs blooming with joy and passion as Johanna argues with a partner over 'Blue or Pinkerton'. It's country rock, it's power pop and at times absolutely rips. 

Sometimes an album title arrives like a voice from across time. For Johanna Samuels, Sorry, Kid began as a message to her younger self, part apology and part recognition. Gathering songs written as far back as 2007 alongside newer work, the album bridges nearly two decades of lived experience. The record holds 70s tones without leaning on them, drawing from a lineage of melody and restraint while staying fully alive in its own time. It feels lived in, steady, and quietly powerful, like something finally understood without needing to be explained. The result is intimate and fully realized, songs that began as questions now settling into something like resolution.
