专辑简介

Inspired by classic jazz artist Billie Holiday and soul pioneer Ray Charles, singer/songwriter Sophia Bastian combines smoky vocals with modern, youthful lyrics to deliver something both old and new, fresh but well-practiced.

Bastian loves songwriting and puts effort and thought into constructing her tracks. "It is the most delicate part of the process, being able to tap into the flow," she says. "It's not like pushing a button. I usually go through a rough patch of life and then work it out musically for myself." It's this dedication to her work that drew music executive Michael "Blue" Williams to become her adviser/guide. "Sophia is a pure artist," he says. "It's exciting to watch when an artist comes to you with a vision and you see it, and to see her be able to do it, it makes you believe." - 10/21/2013 Billboard Magazine, the Scouting Report by Gabrielle Sierra
