Sarah Winters
After such a whirlwind year, Sarah has returned to Los Angeles to set up house and begin work on her next solo album. The first full-length album from Sarah Winters highlights her signature heartbreaking lyrics and intimate vocals. The album, titled “Smallest Bones”, was released in April 2010 and is an assortment of love songs. Sarah’s voice is one that often catches people off guard. She’s not afraid to use her full range, and there’s a weakness in her voice that lends itself well to the heartbroken lyrics she pens. Sarah is venturesome enough to go to an awkward place vocally, whether it’s holding a note a little too long or using unusual phrasing. The way she displaces syllables is sometimes Tori Amos-like, and she also has a vocal flip like Tori’s, showing a distinct difference between upper and lower registers. On “Smallest Bones”, the vocals are immediate and exposed, having a sound similar to St. Vincent or Rachel Yamagata albums. It’s as if she’s sitting in the same room as you. Every single vowel, consonant, inhale, exhale, and spit movement is heard. The lyrics Sarah writes are often true stories from relationships past, painfully honest and painfully intimate. Sarah plays the piano in a very deliberate patterned style, similar to Kate Bush or Regina Spektor. This provides the perfect backdrop for lyrics and vocal melodies, which are the focal point of the songs. Read more on Last.fm.
