A hugely promising and mature debut LP by the 20-year-old Texas-born, New York-based singer-songwriter, mixing intimate soul and R&B with dream-pop, low-key indie and gentle touches of psychedelia. She’s very much an example of a bedroom musician who who chooses to do her own thing, released an attention-grabbing EP while still at high school, and, with new collaborators and instrumentation, this debut album is out on acclaimed label Sub Pop. Highlights include former Song of the Day Warning Sign, lead single Say It Now, which nicely mixes crunchy guitar with Jadagu’s soothing voice, the unusual laid-back rhythms of Admit It, which is dedicated to her older sister who is a key musical influence when growing up, and What You Did. Understated, confident songwriting that really grows after a couple of listens and, when coming into focus, really clicks. Out on Sub Pop.
