Johanna Samuels’ Sorry, Kid arrives as a paid 2026 release from Los Angeles songwriter active since 2014. The supplied tags put it between folk, indie pop, indie rock, pop, and singer-songwriter writing, which is about as far as the available details let us go. There’s no track-by-track description here, so claims about guitars, drums, vocal treatment, tempo, or mix would be guesswork. The titles suggest a personal, song-led set, from “Rare (The Runner Song)” and “Blue Vs. Pinkerton” to “Grade Eleven (Sorry, Kid),” but the music itself needs to make the case.
What is clear is the studio setup. Jonathan Rado produced and engineered at Dreamstar II, with Patrick Damphier handling additional production, engineering, mixing, and mastering at New Monkey Studios and Pentavait. That gives the release a defined production team without telling us what choices they made. It’s available in FLAC 16/44, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, and MP3 320, with vinyl and CD for people who prefer a physical copy. People drawn to songwriter records filed under folk and indie rock have a straightforward place to start.
