Kina!

I received my preorder of Kina Grannis's new album this week, which is a pretty solid album and I encourage everybody to take a listen.

Her sound is general pop indy singer/songwriter type of music but it has a great deal of depth not often found in a lot of music. It can be a little too cutesy for me at times ("Mr. Sun" or "The Goldfish Song") but sometimes it really works for me too ("Together"). But where she really shines is the uniqueness of her voice and simple but haunting melodies ("Stay Just A Little", "Delicate"). "Stay Just a Little" has joined Alexi Murdoch's "Breathe" as one song that I can listen to on repeat for hours without losing anything. Also of note is the song "Back to Us" which has happy spring pop song written all over it.

(For those that don't know or don't remember, no Corey has not become random fan of female indy guitarists. Kina is one of my good friend's sisters so that's how I found out about her music. But she really is worth a listen. There's a lot of talent there.)

You can buy on iTunes and Amazon if you're curious. Or preview some songs or order a hard copy at kinagrannis.com
