Album Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

13 GREAT COUNTRY ALBUMS OF 2023 - BROOKLYN VEGAN
THE 30 BEST COUNTRY, FOLK, AND AMERICANA RECORDS OF 2023 - PASTE MAGAZINE
THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2023 - POST-TRASH
THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2023 - OLD ROOKIE

"Esther Rose has quietly built up one of the most consistently rewarding discographies in contemporary folk music... her new album Safe to Run, her fourth overall, is confident, crackling, and smart." - Stereogum 

"… proves a career best for Rose, housing her most affecting tunes yet." 8/10 The Line of Best Fit

"...Esther's voice has a timeless quality to it on these songs, and the arrangements are lush, earthy, and welcoming like a warm summer day. Safe to Run is one of those albums you can just put on and drift away with." - Brooklyn Vegan 

”Safe To Run's subtle melodies connect, clearing a path for Rose to enhance the modifications embraced on this provocative and charming collection.” 8/10 Stars - Holler

"magnetic... as beautiful a country record as they come." - Post-Trash 

"An album to cherish..." - Post-Trash 

"...Rose truly outperforms herself on the songwriting front, stringing together as catchy a collection of tunes as this writer has heard in a fair while." - The Telegraph

“Safe to Run is Esther Rose’s 4th record and perhaps her best. She’s the type of artist who will always have stories to tell and songs to sing. It’s an encouraging feeling knowing more and more folks will continue to hear them.” - Old Rookie

"...you're less likely to think of country than of Belle & Sebastian, the Sundays, early Blondie, or even the Velvet Undergrounds 'I'll Be Your Mirror.' This one's a keeper." - Americana Highways 

"Esther Rose continues to create some of the most compelling music around on Safe to Run. Her maturity as a writer and confidence as a singer allows her to cover subjects and relationships in a way few artists have been able to master." - For Folk's Sake

"The singer-songwriter puts her best foot forward on her fourth studio full-length, drawing you into a mesmerizing, hazy netherworld of quietly intense contemplation." - Tinnitist 

"She is a genius at balancing the heavy and the light in her songs... a supremely replayable record... - Northern Transmissions
