Content
[edit]In September 2022, Adeem the Artist released the song and music video "Going to Hell", which they confirmed as the first single from their upcoming album.[1] This was followed by "Middle of a Heart" in October,[2] and "Run This Town" in November.[3]
Prior to these songs' release, Adeem the Artist funded the album through a crowdfunding project which they called "Redneck Fundraiser". Matt Wickstrom of No Depression also noted lyrical themes of Southern upbringing and social justice in tracks such as "Heritage of Arrogance". According to Adeem the Artist, the song "My America" was written as an answer song to Aaron Lewis' "Am I the Only One".[4]
Critical reception
[edit]Rick Quinn of Popmatters wrote that "There is an authentic empathy that permeates this album and lends genuine gravity to the songs held within." Quinn also noted themes throughout the lyrics such as condemnation of racism, culture of the Southern United States, religion, and sexuality.[5] John Moore of Glide magazine called the album "a deeply satisfying mix of songs", praising the songwriting on the singles in particular.[6]
