That daring and spark infuse all of Souls Alike. Sounds ranging from the stark fragility of "I Don’t Want Anything to Change" (writ-ten by Liz Rose, Stephanie Chapman, and Maia Sharp) to the swampy electronic loops behind John Capek and Marc Jordan’s "Deep Water" attest to Raitt's desire to grow and find new things to say.

What's most remarkable about Souls Alike is its songs and their focus on broken love, acceptance of responsibility, and the willingness to transcend. Cleary, Sharp, and Batteau wrote a number of tracks, as did John Capek, who provides drum loops on some cuts.
