Priscilla Ahn

Add Date: May 3 

Artist: Priscilla Ahn 

Album: When You Grow Up 

Label: Blue Note 

Genre: Folk pop 

Comments: Priscilla Ahn's solo album is gracefully beautiful, pleasant, and subtle in its production of acoustic melodies. From the promoter: "The album, which was produced by Ethan Jones (Ray LaMontagne, Laura Marling, Ryan Adams, The Jayhawks), features songwriting collaborations with Sia Furler, Inara George, Eleni Mandell, and Charlie Wadhams, as well as a cover of Benji Hughes' frolicsome love call 'Vibe So Hot'.

"Growth emerges as the central theme of When You Grow Up. The songs thread a loose storyline through life's ups and downs, with Ahn's angelic voice narrating experiences beginning with childhood, progressing through cycles of romance and heartbreak, and concluding with the wise, reflective 'Torch Song'. The album also exhibits Ahn's continued growth as an artist and a songwriter since her 2008 debut A Good Day."
