Morgan Wade has made a name for herself by refusing to look away from heartbreak, from addiction, from the tangled mess of memory and longing. On The Party Is Over (recovered), she doubles down on that raw honesty with 11 songs that feel ripped from old scars and fresh wounds alike.

Produced by longtime collaborator Clint Wells, the album bridges Wade’s past and present, unearthing older, unreleased material and giving it new life. But make no mistake, this isn’t nostalgia. It’s confrontation. The title track, “The Party Is Over,” pulses with the ache of attraction that won’t die even when the buzz wears off. “East Coast” spirals deeper, capturing the kind of obsession that shoves a person to the brink.

Wade’s voice — weathered, sharp, unshaken — guides us through loveless hookups (“High in Your Apartment”), fertility struggles (“Hardwood Floor”), and gritty snapshots of late-night longing (“Parking Garage”). The sound matches the subject matter: jagged twang on “Candy from Strangers,” washed-out grunge in “Songs I Won’t Remember,” and delicate acoustic work on “Stay.” She slips between these modes effortlessly, but always sounds like herself, unfiltered, unmoved by trends, and unwilling to soften the edges.

With The Party Is Over (recovered), Wade digs into songs she wrote before anyone was watching and proves that nothing’s changed. She’s still chasing the truth, wherever it leads.
