About the BandFB | INST | YUTB | SPTFY | BNDCMP | .COM
Conjuring the soulfulness of Norah Jones, the melancholy of Joni Mitchell, and the lyric-bending bewitchment of Bonnie Raitt, Caitlin Jemma takes listeners on an atmospheric journey from heartbreak to hope. Her new album True Meaning gives us sparse, inner-directed desert-folk hymns, ala Damien Jurado and Tift Merritt, juxtaposed with lush, full-band rockers featuring Van Morrison-like horns, Velvet Underground-meets-The Band-infused rhythm sections, and impassioned Motown-era backing vocals. Jemma’s songbird timbre sounds half-broken and half-resilient, accompanied by western slide guitar and evoking the feeling that the lights of the next city are just over the ridge.
