"The greatest adjustment in Cornfield's new music is her lyrical framing. In the past, her songs were so littered with personal details that listening felt voyeuristic."
"On Hurts Like Hell, her sixth album, she casts a wider net, developing characters with struggles outside of her current experience."
"You can practice being in really emotional and intense places without it being my own story. The high drama of my twenties is gone."
"Cornfield draws out those stories like a raconteur teasing information between sips of bourbon."
