Mindy Smith - Stupid Love
Pop/Folk - In possession of a lovely crystalline voice that can easily impart both innocence and vulnerablity, Mindy Smith has quietly but assuredly emerged as one of our finest singer songwriters. Crafting songs that dig deep into relationships, heartbreak and the wisdom gleaned from the emotional experience, the Long Island born Nashville resident returns with her fourth album Stupid Love. Since the release of her debut One Moment More in 2004, Smith has quickly joined the upper echelons of female folk/pop performers, winning critical praise as well as Best New Artist from the Americana Music Association.
New project, co-produced with Ian Fitchuk and Justin Loucks, glories in the lushness of Smith's voice suspended over achingly beautiful arrangements. Tracks such as the superb Fleetwood Mac-ish "Couldn't Stand The Rain" and piano grounded "Surface" shimmer with a purity and delicacy that simply set a new standard for intelligent, modern adult pop. Highly recommended.
"Her voice carves melodies so sharp and fine you can almost see them." - NEW YORK TIMES
“Like Patty Griffin, Smith is a deft songwriter straddling folk, country and pop, with a lovely girl-woman soprano that feels like cotton sheeting after a bath.” - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
