Review:

There is a very thin line between childish and child-like, but they are worlds apart. Andrea Hamilton’s honest and vulnerable vocal delivery reminds me of Amos Lee and the Juno soundtrack. The simple soulfulness of her melodies is weirdly haunting- I don’t think the melodies themselves, or her lyrics, are compelling, but delivered with that honesty they somehow seep in an make you feel like you know her, and that she knows you.

The production on “Blink” is spacious, leaving room for a groove that’s impressive from a white girl. The train chugging snare drum and well-placed harmonies during the chorus make “It’ll Be Alright” the kind of song you listen to with the windows down. “Sunshine Inside” is almost nerdy, calling to mind Lisa Loeb and Ingrid Michaelson.
Hamilton’s music is never haughty or self-congratulatory. Her whole style as an artist is approachable; just look at the cover photo of her recent release, “Deciding What To Keep.” Listening to her music makes me want to see her live; makes me wonder what kind of quirky stories she’ll tell… and I’m genuinely looking forward to them.
