I love Natalie Prass. Her self-titled debut, released earlier this year, is a fine example of how to do folk pop perfectly. If you’re a fan of Jenny Lewis, I think you’d love her, too. Their songwriting and vocal styles are similar enough that if you like one you should like the other.

Well, you’re either going to love this one or hate it. Personally, I found it a little unsettling at first because I’m not used to seeing Katharine McPhee like this. She’s so sweet and innocent on Scorpion. And she was both of those on Smash, too. And she didn’t get very risque when she released…
