Memphis
By Kelly A Walker

I never understood why my momma would keep such a big secret from me. I begged for an answer, but she refused to give in. Now that momma is gone, her secret has been revealed.

The secret now has a name.

My name is Memphis Reynolds, and I find myself driving hours south in search of him. My biological father. The man momma kept hidden away from me for reasons I never knew.

Surrounded by half-truths, lies, and heartbreak, I find something I wasn’t searching for.

Love.

Three very different, very exceptional, very handsome men, will teach me that it is okay to let go the dreams of a little girl, and grab hold the desires of a grown woman.

They have no idea what they’re getting themselves into.

Bless their hearts.





I loved it!! Took me an hour to read! You can’t help read it from the beginning in a southern accent! It was well written and I really got drawn in! She’s a new author to me and can’t wait to see what else she’s got.

"Another would be Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America. I know they finally did a new complete version; they restored it back to the original as close as they could. I think Scorsese was involved with that. I haven’t seen that. I think there’s another 12 minutes added; that’s what I’ve heard. Anyway, that’s been one of my favorite movies forever.I think it’s one of the most important movies I’ve ever seen, because I was like a young teenager when I saw it the first time, and I was so… I mean, I grew up in the countryside in a small village in Denmark, as far from the Lower East Side of New York as you can possibly get, and still I remember just identifying 100 percent with Noodles, the main character. I was feeling everything. I was going through his heartbreak. And I do remember at the time feeling like, “I want to do that. Imagine if I could be in something where someone else could have the experience I just had watching this movie.” So that was a very important film for me. I’ve seen it many times, and it’s just beautiful."

Some nice variety in pace within a number of songs. (2 more)
Some clever lyrics that make you think, cry and chuckle occasionally... That's right I used the word chuckle.
The album definitely has a theme that flows through it; heatrbeak.
The last two/three songs felt a bit too much for me. I guess everyone will have their favourites and connect in a variety of ways, but I didn't connect quite so much with them. (0 more)

I really enjoyed this album.

Having heard Drivers Licence on the radio I couldn't help but be intrigued by the rest of Olivia Rodrigo's songs.

With a very beautiful voice and some interesting (in a good way) intonation in the way she sings parts of her songs, the album didn't disappoint. This is present throughout the album and definitely makes it worth a listen.

Whilst the themes of the songs all revolve around heartbreak, there are some more uplifting moments that make your head bang or your heart flutter positively.

I am rather biased, as I love acoustic music and there are some excellent moments of this throughout the album.
