Susannah B’s tracks seem to defy any one genre (words that come to mind are neo-folksy-pop). Her lyrics are chock-full of empowering clichés (“You were the sun; I was a planet revolving around you. It’s my time now” she sings on “My Time Now”); but that isn’t to say it doesn’t work for her ethereal vocals. What’s missing is an explosive quality, one that parallels the invigorating sentiment of her lyrics. Even though I thought really? when she sang “I always wanted to play ukulele. I just love to say OOH-KOO-lele,” the lyric captures the essence of her music: playful, but ultimately introspective. That being said, it’s nothing new.
