Something Easy

Something Easy is the tenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Rutledge, released May 19, 2023, on Encore Records.

Rutledge noted that as he is now a father to two young boys, the album was marked by a very different creative process than his past work, as the increased demands on his time have made it much harder to set aside time for writing and recording music. It was also his first fully self-produced album, marked in part by his efforts to learn some of the technical aspects of recording that he had not fully mastered working with co-producers in the past, as well as taking guitar lessons in order to refine his established self-taught guitar technique. The process ultimately took him two full years.

According to Rutledge, "a song like 'Cowards', for example, is a song that was a series of fuck-ups until I didn't fuck up anymore."
