Composition and recording

After several years of focusing on being a single mother, Merchant returned to songwriting as an emotional outlet, composing songs for Keep Your Courage beginning in late 2020 or early 2021. [2] These represented the first songs that Merchant had written in six years. [3] The album is a song cycle built around the concept of having a courageous heart, [4] and is a concept album composed entirely of love songs, which Merchant was inspired to write after having surgery for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament [5] as well as an anaplasmosis infection that led to sepsis [6] and experiencing healing from love and care by others. [7] [8] Lyrics discuss feelings of isolation that she had during the COVID-19 pandemic [9] and the album also explores political themes and feminism [10] and womanhood. [11] Many of the songs are written about or to fictional or mythological characters, which is a songwriting tool that Merchant uses to approach contemporary issues. [8] [12] She also read mythology during the pandemic, as it felt like a mythological event to her. [13]

In-studio recordings only featured up to five persons at a time due to COVID restrictions, so the resulting music was made with layering recordings. [2] The cover is a photograph of a statue of Joan of Arc that Merchant found many years prior and kept. [14]

Release and promotion

“I was raising my daughter, and I’m a single mom... My days are so full that it never occurred to me that I should sit down and write a song. I was just focused on so many other things. It’s an indulgence to sit down with the piano and sing. It got to the point where I forgot that I was a songwriter, or that I could write songs.”

—Merchant on her extended absence from performing, recording, and songwriting, leading up to Keep Your Courage and its subsequent tour [15]

Two singles preceded the album's release: "Come On, Aphrodite" on February 15, 2023, and "Tower of Babel" on March 30, 2023. [16] [17] Merchant participated in a promotion with Uncut to answer fans' questions [18] that ran in the June 2023 issue. [13] She also hosted a set on WDST, Radio Woodstock on April 15. [19] On April 18, 2023, Merchant released a third single off of the album, "Big Girls". [20]

Merchant withheld the release for almost a year in order to safely tour around the COVID-19 pandemic. [21] Beginning in May 2022, Merchant took the music from this album and prepared it for an orchestral arrangement. [22] The promotional tour is her first long-term tour in almost a decade [23] and it finds Merchant accompanied by a string quartet on all dates. [22] Merchant also performed on Good Morning America on June 20. [24]

Reception

Keep Your Courage received positive reviews from critics noted at review aggregator Metacritic. It has a weighted average score of 78 out of 100, based on seven reviews. [30] In No Depression , Jim Shahen characterizes this release as "full of ambitious musical passages, thoughtful lyrics, and fantastic vocal performances centered on the need for love and meaningful human connection". [1] PopMatters' Steve Horowitz rated Keep Your Courage a seven out of 10, noting an "alchemy" between the musicians and styles, but critiquing that Merchant "would be better if Merchant lightened up a bit... She would be more honest if she were funnier, and this would make her morals easier to digest." [7] Tom Dunne of The Irish Examiner listed this as one of his six favorite albums of the year so far in mid-April 2023. [31] John Murphy of musicOMH gave the album three out of five stars, praising individual tracks, but noting that "there are a couple of tracks that veer towards the forgettable, and the overall downbeat tempo of the album as a whole may test the patience of some listeners". [32] In The Daily Telegraph , Neil McCormick rated this album four out of five stars, praising "the cohesive, eternal quality of Merchant's ability to weave romantic, folk-rock ballads rich with organ, brass, and tidal waves of strings all anchored to simple piano melodies". [33] Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release four out of five stars, with critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine praising the music for "celebrat[ing] compassion, empathy, and inspiration" while being "stately and sober", with "Merchant's inherently warm, empathetic voice keep[ing] the album from seeming still in its quiet moments". [34] Graham Reid of The New Zealand Herald included this in his favorite albums of 2023. [35]
