Aimee Mann

Sophisticated chamber pop with a sharp tongue. A masterwork of literate songwriting, dry vocals, and lush, vintage-inspired arrangements.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the woodwinds swell during the bridge of Nothing Is Good Enough, underscoring the lyrical frustration.
The sudden, stark intimacy of the acoustic guitar on Just Like Anyone that closes the record with a whisper.
The rhythmic interplay between the dry bassline and the deadpan vocal delivery on How Am I Different.
