Hannah Miller - O Black River EP

Alabama-raised, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Hannah Miller has quietly built a reputation and growing following for her thoughtful, lovingly rendered folk/pop that also taps into her roots of gospel and soulful Americana. Miller's almost dispassionate vocal style, reminiscent at times of the languid cool of Cowboy Junkies' Margot Timmons, communicates as simply and effectively as a knowing glance. Miller doesn't reveal much as she sings in the gorgeous hymn "O Black River" but the result is surprisingly to draw the listener closer, an invitation to swim below the serene surface to discover the finely nuanced layers and textures in her voice. The second part of an EP trilogy, O Black River is self-released next week. Watch Miller's high-quality videos after the jump.
