WHAT IT IS: On Whiplash, Jobi Riccio showcases her musical prowess and her insights into life’s complexities. Crafted during her formative late teens and early 20s, the album stands as a poignant testament from an artist gracefully navigating the journey into adulthood, as the 25-year-old musician delivers a profoundly vulnerable body of work with poise and maturity. One of NPR’s “Favorite New Artists of 2023 (So Far),” Riccio has earned acclaim from The New York Times, The Nashville Scene, Boot and Holler. She also received the 2023 John Prine Songwriter Fellowship Award.
