While this guitar-centric propulsion of quick-fingered rock would be impressive regardless of who those nimble digits belonged to, the fact that these sounds are squealing from the amp of a young lady who is still a few years shy of graduating high school makes it all the more impressive. Also impressive: the fact that these are all original compositions. Perhaps most impressive: the level of dexterity represented within the shifting genres and methods she tackles over the course of these 10 songs.Whether fast (“Power & Force”), slow (“Never Back Down”), acoustic (“Love Her”), or straight up shredding (“Pulse”), she never seems out of her comfort zone. While some young prodigies are content to cover classic rock staples and sacrifice groove and feel for technicality, this is a girl who seems to already have a handle on the way this music ticks. Oh, and she sings, too. While her hands continue to work double overtime. If this hasn’t convinced you, look her up on YouTube. Hit play, get your mind blown, then come back here and get in on the ground floor.~Brad at CD Baby
