Now calling the Gulf Coast home, this songbird is full of bluesy notes and southern twang. In between songs about love and life, two stand out the most to me. “The Burn,” with its jazzy, waltz-like rhythm that transports you to a smoky speakeasy, captures an authentic vintage vibe without leaning on tropes. And the closing song, “Move Over,” an acapella anthem with a simple rhythm, has roots deeper than recorded music history. Welcome to the area, Stephanie—can’t wait to hear what you do next.
