Cover Girl

Interpretive folk. Colvin strips pop and rock classics down to their wooden skeletons with percussive guitar and a breathy, front-row vocal.

It's like your coolest, most talented friend playing her favorite records for you on an acoustic guitar in her living room.

A quiet, reverent collection of musical letters that feels like a warm conversation in a dimly lit room.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transformation of a frantic Police pop hit into a slow, breathless acoustic confession on track 1.

The way the guitar strings buzz slightly during the intimate, live-feeling rendition of Dylan's track 12.

The hushed, reverent delivery of the Talking Heads' Naive Melody that strips away the synth-pop for pure emotion.
