'Jubilee' finds Michelle Zauner embracing ambition and, with it, her boldest ideas and songs yet. Inspired by records like Bjork's 'Homogenic', Zauner delivers bigness throughout - big ideas, big textures, colors, sounds and feelings. At a time when virtually everything feels extreme, 'Jubilee' sets its sights on maximal joy, imagination, and exhilaration. It is, in Michelle Zauner's words, 'a record about fighting to feel. I wanted to re-experience the pure, unadulterated joy of creation.
The songs are about recalling the optimism of youth and applying it to adulthood. They're about making difficult choices, fighting ignominious impulses and honoring commitments, confronting the constant struggle we have with ourselves to be better people'.
