The Authorship Story

Data Insight

Lefty writes on all fourteen tracks of her debut and never alone, and two names carry the record with her: Grace Enger co-writes nine and Joe Reeves eight, with Reeves producing every one of the fourteen. Jacob Kasher is on six. The credit worth noticing is on “Boston”, the song that broke her, where Noah Kahan appears alongside the usual three. Only the closer, “Why Wouldn’t We”, has none of Enger, Reeves or Kasher writing beside her.
