Phoenix, Arizona songwriter Danielle Durack had written breakup songs before, but when she played âEggshellsâ for her boyfriend of several years, âit started a conversation about everything.â They ended up splitting, and Durackâs third record,
No Place, sorts through the decision to part. âEggshellsâ is the culmination of a years-long shift in Durackâs music to something rawer and less polished: 2017âs
Bonnie Rose was straightforward, cutesy piano pop, while 2019âs
Bashful landed closer to slick adult contemporary. Expanding her band to include fellow Phoenix vocalist Sydney Sprague and Pedro the Lion drummer Sean Lane, Durackâs latest is a slow-burning breakup album that draws on myriad influences to eke out something fresh.
