Try Harder is East’s drum-free, emotionally resonant album, conceived during a period of high anxiety. Seeking the same calm and grounding she found in solo piano, East deliberately avoided percussion, despite initial scepticism from collaborators. The result is a beautiful, intimate record that acts as an album-length anthem for those who feel out of step with the world, inviting listeners to sit with their discomfort and find a quiet, personal sense of peace.
