Jill Johnson - My Remedy

Review by Markus Azadeh

My Remedy is the 13th studio album from Swedish country singer Jill Johnson. Released in 2019, this album showcases Johnson's powerful vocals and her ability to tell a story through her music. The album features 11 tracks, all of which were written or co-written by Johnson herself.

The album opens with the title track "My Remedy," a mid-tempo song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Johnson's voice is strong and emotive, and the lyrics speak of finding comfort in music. "I'll Be Your Bridge" is a beautiful ballad that showcases Johnson's softer side. The song features a simple piano melody and heartfelt lyrics about being there for someone in need.

"Is It Hard Being a Man" is a standout track on the album. The song is a powerful commentary on the expectations placed on men in society, and the pressure they feel to always be strong and in control. Johnson's voice is filled with emotion as she sings, "Is it hard being a man, when you're supposed to be so strong? When you're not allowed to cry, when you're not allowed to be wrong?"

Other standout tracks on the album include "The One Who Cries," a heartbreaking ballad about a woman who can't seem to let go of a past love, and "The Way You Make Me Feel," a catchy, upbeat song about falling in love.
