A start to a story that doesn’t usually end well. In fact, it’s usually followed by a missing person’s report and possibly a cross-Canada manhunt and standoff in a motel on the outskirts of town.

Don’t call it a sophomore slump. Call it a “turning point.” Samantha Savage Smith does. An important one. And while we’re at it, maybe call her new album, the extraordinarily wonderful, confident and bountiful third release Fake Nice a comeback. A welcome one.
