Grace VanderWaal | Just The Beginning
Columbia | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Liz Itkowsky: “In listening to Just The Beginning, I hope that this is just that. VanderWaal is a remarkable talent coming of age in an era of meaningful pop music. There is no shortage of critically acclaimed pop and VanderWaal fits in well with peers like Lorde and Carly Rae Jepsen. But where they operate in a dance-centric realm, she scratches a wholesome, folky itch....Just The Beginning is 42 minutes of musical Prozac. VanderWaal’s optimism is as infectious as her lyrics, a welcome change of pace in a cynical time. Her songs encourage a mental recalibration. Like she sings on the triumphant 'City Song': 'Everything going on around you / Just close your eyes and disconnect for a moment or two.'”
