“Couple(t)s Side A” by Couldn’t Be Happiers is an album that feels meticulously crafted, with a clear sense of purpose and structure. The married duo of Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee have created a project that reflects their shared love of folk music, poetic couplets, and storytelling. The album is organized into thematic pairs—love songs, protest songs, and folk-story songs—a concept that mirrors the couplet form in poetry and, metaphorically, their own relationship. It’s an ambitious framework, and the duo executes it with precision, even if the results occasionally feel too polished for their own good.
