Soft Ballad from Mia Porter
Sometime next Spring, Mia Porter will be releasing her debut LP, and with that in mind, I’d like to encourage you to keep your ears out for her music. Her voice has this distinctive nature to it, particularly in the way that she toys with some of the syllables in her songwriting; the vocals toy with a bit of comedic effect, whilst detailing the complexities of love. While her performance reminds me of the love child of Hope Sandoval and Aldous Harding, I think the accents in the arrangement, with horn work from Denzel Mendoza, really allow the track to swell and blossom as it swirls around you.
