The New Bohemians singer writes small, observed songs that feel like talk.
For her sound, try 'Came A Long Way' or 'Big Day, Little Boat'. They're good examples of how she frames small things plainly.
Her voice and lyrics gave late-'80s folk-rock a distinct, offbeat personality, especially on 'Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars'. A song like 'Came A Long Way' shows her knack for personal, melodic storytelling that doesn't try to be anthemic. It's music that feels like a quiet conversation, which has kept her work relevant through periodic albums over decades.
She first got attention with New Bohemians in 1988, with 'What I Am' hitting the top 10. After lineup changes and breaks, they kept recording, from 'Picture Perfect Morning' in 1994 to a self-titled album in 2018. The songs stayed in that folk-rock vein, often about everyday moments rather than big statements.
