Song Music Lyrics

In the gently clipping “Think of You,” Kitchell melodiously muses, “You’re like a breath of fresh air,” which is an apt description of her rookie outing of folky, rootsy originals. At 16, Kitchell already possesses the refined elegance of singer/songwriters twice her age. Her songs go deep (the mystery in the storytelling on the easygoing “Train” and the country-inflected “No Matter What”) as well as sweetly skim the surface (the breezy “I’d Love You” and the breathy “Simple Melody”). Kitchell has an appealing voice, at turns wistful, lightheartedly gleeful and spiked with the blues. Her jazz-informed phrasing is particularly impressive. A few missteps mar the otherwise delectable proceedings, such as the “love is like a drug” cliche on “Can’t Get You out of My Mind” and a saccharine hidden track about her younger brother.–Billboard
