My California is the fifth studio album by Beth Hart , released in 2010. Hart worked with Danish producer Rune Westberg , who had already worked on Beth's previous albums 37 Days and Leave the Light On .[ 3] Westberg challenged Hart not to "scream with animal savagery" ,[ 4] not to rely on the power of her voice but rather on the power of emotions. This makes My California a unique album in Hart's discography, with a constancy throughout the tracks that the fans were not used to with the previous albums.[ 1]
