I collect faces. I may have mentioned it before. As a writer I find it easier to describe my characters if I have a specific face in mind. And so I keep a file full of pictures of interesting people I can go through when preparing for a novel to find a face that matches well with what I have in my mind.
It was because of this that I happened to click on a picture of Sydney Sierota on Bing’s Images page. I had no idea who she is or why I should care, but after perusing a page full of thumbnails I began to be curious as to why she was famous enough to get on Bing. That led me to find out she’s in a band called Echosmith with her brothers. I decided to go take a listen. Not bad. It’s pop music aimed at teens, and not exactly deep pop at that, but I find they have a clean, listenable sound. They’re not overproduced like so much music today. Sydney’s voice and the over-all harmonies remind me a little of Alison Krauss, though she also reminds me of some other pop singer I’m not recalling at the moment.
They also seem to be going for a clean, wholesome image, which I heartily endorse and hope they can maintain it.
Anyway, feel free to take a listen–or ignore.
I vaguely recollect having heard of them before.
I really like Bright. Cute song.
Yeah, I think that might be my favorite, too.
