Full of Grace

posted in: Artist Features

Don’t let her whimsical name fool you”Sunday Lane is about as serious a musician as they come. The Tulsa-born, California-based ingénue is barely in her ˜20s, but she’s got the poise and instincts of an old hand. Lanes crafts anthems of unrest and quiet protest, composed largely of her sweet, dusky vocals and piano. Reckless One is a heart-twister of a ballad”floating between restless and triumphant. On the agitated Heavy Heart, Heavy Hands, Lane conjures a tempest around her tale of a broken home. It’s got the passion of Tori Amos and the grace of Norah Jones. As good as that track is, Raincoat may be even better. All ether and mood”like picture run through an Instagram filter”the melody features Lane’s pensive piano playing and distant vocals. After hearing this singer-songwriter, we kind of wish they all could be California girls.
