Priscilla Ahn - When You Grow Up

Priscilla Ahn - Second full-length of delicate folk and wispy chamber pop from L.A. songwriter (and Hotel Cafe fixture) follows up her 2008 full-length debut A Good Day // Release: When You Grow Up (May 3, Blue Note) // Quote: "We recorded live to tape for the most part. And tape always captures a little 'sumthin sumthin' extra special...There is definitely something special to me about this album." // Sounds like: a romantic postcard that seems sent from Ahn's real-life honeymoon last summer --  songs so weightless you fear the notes will drift off before hitting your ear...a voice that seems born to sing, what comes across as overly mellow might be just her effortless style // What we like: the 3am slo-mo ballads work the best: "City Lights (Pretty Lights)" shimmers with a classic melody, the crystalline "Lost Cause" and hymnlike "Torch Song" stream like rays of morning sunlight...
