Beth Hart is back, and she’s brought her signature fire and vulnerability on her new album You Still Got Me. Two years after her explosive A Tribute To Led Zeppelin, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter returns with what might be her most heartfelt and special album yet. Packed with blistering guitar solos from amazing players like Slash and Eric Gales, Hart’s latest finds her in top form, both vocally and emotionally. For anyone familiar with Hart’s career, You Still Got Me is another step along a musical path known for its raw intensity. She’s always been a performer who doesn’t just sing, but pours every ounce of herself into the music. And on the new album she continues that tradition, digging deep into personal struggles, love, loss, and resilience.

The title track, “You Still Got Me,” sets the emotional tone for the album. Hart’s voice, at times both strong and fragile, delivers lyrics that hit like a gut punch: “He asked me if I need a hug, I said I got nothin’ inside left to love, and then he said, but baby you still got me.” It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s a lifeline, whether that’s a person, a memory, or even a song. In songs like “Sweet Dreams,” she leans into that empathy, offering a message of hope and healing, wrapping her voice around the listener like a warm embrace. Even as she touches on pain and fragility, there’s a sense of fight and strength that permeates the album. Standout moments of the album include when it pairs Hart’s vocal powerhouse performance with guest appearances from two guitar greats. Slash brings his searing guitar work to tracks that pulse with rock energy, while Eric Gales adds a soulful edge that perfectly complements Hart’s bluesy roots.

But what truly makes You Still Got Me special is Hart’s ability to channel her emotions into universal experiences. “Empathy can sometimes be a superhuman power,” she says, and it’s a sentiment that runs through every track. Whether she’s belting out an anthem of survival or quietly reflecting on love and loss, she creates a connection with listeners that feels both intimate and electrifying. Beth Hart has always been an artist who lays it all bare, and You Still Got Me is no exception. It’s an album that reminds us that, even when we feel like we have nothing left, there’s always something - someone - that keeps us grounded. With her signature blend of blues, rock, and soul, Hart delivers a record that’s both a cathartic release and a celebration of survival.
