Album Review: We Three’s We’re All Messed up — but It’s Ok

In 2018, sibling trio We Three stepped onto the America’s Got Talent stage and left audiences in awe (and in tears) with their emotional dedication to their late mother. The performance not only saw them sail through to the next round, it established them as artists who can connect and move listeners at their core. As they continued to progress throughout the competition, it became more and more apparent that we were witnessing the emergence of three new storytellers with a lot to say. Fast-forward a year, and the band has maintained that momentum, releasing their self-titled debut album and headlining their first national tour.

Their latest offering, a five-track EP titled We’re All Messed up — but It’s Ok, finds the band firmly stamping their place as three of the most promising young songwriters in pop music today. They venture where many wouldn’t, covering tough subject matter like suicide and depression in an effort to ease the stigma surrounding mental health. The songs are a reminder of music’s ability to heal and make us feel a little less alone.

Standouts include “Machine,” an up-tempo earworm with a powerful message about embracing your individuality. “I don’t wanna be a part of your machine” is the empowering hook repeated throughout the chorus. The fan favorite “Superman” puts our childhood heroes in perspective, while the beautiful but gut-wrenching “Sara” addresses depression, loneliness, and suicide by telling the story of a young girl who’s “just looking for her angels, but they’re a little hard to find.”

To keep up with We Three, follow them on Twitter and Instagram, and pick up or stream We’re All Messed up – but It’s Ok on Amazon Music, iTunes, or Spotify.
