Review By Halina Wegner
Morgan Wade has never been one to shy away from emotional honesty—but with The Party Is Over (Recovered), she takes things a step further, peeling back the years to breathe new life into the songs that built her. Due for release soon, this 11-track album is a deeply personal resurrection of her earliest songwriting—solo-penned tracks that pre-date her major-label days, now reimagined with the grit, grace, and clarity she’s earned on the road.
Wade’s decision to revisit these unreleased songs during a period of self-reflection feels both bold and necessary. There’s something poignant about returning to old words with new perspective, and this record captures that duality perfectly. These aren’t just demos polished up—they’re emotional time capsules opened by someone who’s lived more, lost more, and loved harder since first writing them.
Thematically, The Party Is Over (Recovered) is a continuation of Wade’s signature deep-dive into mental health, addiction, heartbreak, and healing. But with these tracks—already fan favorites in her live set—there’s a new layer of intimacy. You can feel the miles she’s walked in the space between pen and microphone.
Wade’s journey from indie underdog to international headliner adds weight to every lyric. Having played these songs to sold-out crowds across the US, UK, and Europe, she’s giving fans what they’ve long been waiting for—studio versions of the tracks that made them fall in love with her in the first place.
This isn’t just a reissue. It’s a reckoning. The Party Is Over (Recovered) is a fearless look back that proves Morgan Wade’s most vulnerable moments are also her most powerful. Essential listening for anyone who’s ever tried to outrun their past—and finally decided to face it instead.
