Comeback Kid is the third solo studio album by Bridget Kearney. It was released through Keeled Scales on April 12, 2024.
The album has received generally favorable reviews.
In his April 2024 song-detailed, artist interview, Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine wrote that, "Comeback Kid, [is] an intimate, impassioned, and inspiring record of resilience and rebirth, overcoming life's challenges and rising out of our lows." With some of the songs having their genesis during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Bridget Kearney offers snapshots of our collective lockdown and subsequent return to "normalcy": Life as we once knew it, with a newfound appreciation for all that we lost and all that we previously took for granted...Kearney captured a slice of life in beautifully expressive songs yearning for connection, catharsis, and release."[1]
Under the Radar's Caleb Campbell wrote that the album's lead single, "Comeback Kid", had a "liminal style of indie pop, joined by layers of vintage synths and atmospheric production." and that "as the song unfurls, Kearney is joined by an immersive rhythm section and dreamy backing vocals, elevating the track into a wistful and hazy reverie."[2]
Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote that the album had "an eclectic vibe she's ... championed on her solo work, including 2017's "Won't Let You Down" and 2023's "Snakes of Paradise" albums that found her embracing a mix of melodic rock and sophisticated indie pop. With 2024's Comeback Kid, she further hones this end of her pop career, crafting memorable songs that are as likable and infectious as anything she's done with..."[3]
