Reese Lansangan

Reese Lansangan’s quirkiness is both genuinely fresh and unassumingly sweet—but it belies her sharp pop credentials. Winning a coveted spot at the Elements National Music Camp in 2013 paved the way for the singer-songwriter’s 2016 debut album Arigato, Internet! It’s a compelling slice of signature whimsy meeting clever wordplay and string-laced melodies, choppy acoustic guitars and airy vocals, as on “Grammar Nazi” and “A Song About Space”, which was even endorsed by NASA. Her tender, joyful sound is a treasure box of childlike wonder just waiting to be explored.
