This week’s edition of LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks features pieces from Sami Jo, and more!
Sami Jo - “I’m Tired Of Calling My Mom”
Sami Jo, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, weaves personal narratives into catchy melodies, drawing comparisons to artists like Noah Kahan, Colbie Caillat, and Kacey Musgraves— and on her latest single, “I’m Tired of Calling My Mom”, she brings a delightfully heartfelt melody and lyrics to the spotlight, with her themes of introspective storytelling with the first-person narrative, and the smooth-flowing guitars and percussion that make this song a warm, friendly, and comforting listen. The production remains delightfully minimalistic, but still emotively captures the message and intent of the track, and leaves listeners in a poignant state of mind. Check it out here!
Mike Nisbet - “Beach Blood 21%”
Bringing a placid, soothing sound with his guitars and his narratives that translate excellently into his vocals, Mike Nisbet brings a gospel-like, heavenly quality to his songs that shine on his latest single, “Beach Blood 21%”— and with the minimalistic approach to the production that sees itself as just the guitar to keep the vocals company, the mixing stands out here, for it is an accomplishment in itself; the hall-like reverbs on the vocals and the guitars lend a wafty, dense quality to the song that makes it an endearing yet hypnotic listen that stays with you. Check it out here!
Colin Manson - “Sea Son”
Colin Manson, a Singer-Songwriter hailing from the rural West Coast of Scotland, infuses indie and folk with intricate finger-picking on guitar and lush cello harmonies that shine through on his latest single, “Sea Son”— with his rich, layered harmonies that deliver a painfully heartfelt listen— while his lead vocals tie things together. The inspiration that Colin takes from the seas are evident with the idyllic nature of the sound design. The lyrics are deep, and soulful, and with the rest of the ensemble, create a warm blanket of sound that’s perfect for the chilly nights up ahead of us. Check it out here!
