Logan J Parker is redefining what it is to be a musician with her self-titled debut EP.
Parker is a truly hard to find type of musician: singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and pianist. These components make for a perfect storm of blues, rock and roll, and soul. While music is more diverse than it’s ever been, finding singer-songwriters with the honesty and grit that she has is increasingly difficult.
There are countless standout moments within her debut EP, “Fire and Rain” being one of them. On the very surface, her vocal hooks are gorgeous; the range and sophistication is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. But the listening ability goes further, as she incorporates classic sounds into modern situations.
“Cry Cry Cry” is another high point, bluesy and mysterious, with a well-received hint of soul. Once again, Parker displays the extent of her vocal abilities; delicate yet powerful, something that’s incredibly rare.
For anybody with a fascination for classic music in the modern world, Logan J Parker’s debut EP is where to start. Recorded in the world’s first fully solar-powered studio, she is bringing ethics to art, which is is sure to help her stand out among today’s singer-songwriters.
