“Hollywood and Fear” continues with Fenne’s delicate, introspective, and intimate take on lilith folk. Based on the idea of how love and relationships are portrayed in movies versus what they are in actuality, Fenne wrote the song after an argument with a person she loved, an argument that boiled down to whether loving each other was enough to keep them together. The question of whether “I want to be right or to be kind” is reflected in the lyrics. "It’s something my mum asked me constantly when I was a kid — I would argue until I lost the thread of the argument, when I could have easily let it go,” says Fenne. “So 'Hollywood and Fear' is about figuring out when to hold on tightly versus when to let go."

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
