Finger-picked guitars and subtle, thoughtful basslines form the backdrop for Melissa Horn's intimate reveries. She takes on the big subjects of love, betrayal and trust with a wisdom beyond her years, masterfully setting her poetic, innermost thoughts to gently melodic, late-night acoustic pop. As a versatile songwriter she even experiments within the form, with lilting steel guitar bringing a country tinge to tracks, and bolsters her melodies with more dramatic, sweeping string sections. This playlist is a perfect primer for her music's low-key beauty.
