If you’ve ever wished life came with a soundtrack that made your messy moments feel meaningful, Andrea Schmider’s Potpourri is your new best friend. This five-track gem is full of heart, healing, and some seriously gorgeous string arrangements. Schmider mixes poetic lyrics with melodies that feel like warm tea on a rainy day—comforting, reflective, and just a bit whimsical.
The EP kicks off with “Set the Sails,” a breezy yet brave number about taking chances when the safe harbor disappears. Then there’s “Fractured Beauty,” which turns brokenness into brilliance (Kintsugi-style!) with lines that glisten like gold in the cracks. Schmider has a knack for sneaking deep truths into gentle tunes—like a therapist who sings in metaphors.
“Going in Circles” brings a playful twist with a carousel-like feel—think childhood nostalgia meets adult déjà vu. Meanwhile, “Lonely Streets” captures the ache of displacement without ever losing hope. And closing track “Sweet Stillness”? That one’s a cozy exhale in song form. It’s like Schmider saved you a seat on the quiet train to Inner Peace.
Potpourri isn’t flashy or loud, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s heartfelt, human, and humming with sincerity. If your soul needs a little reset—or just a reminder that there’s beauty in the mix of it all—Andrea Schmider’s latest is waiting with open arms.
