Love Is an Art

Vanessa Carlton

A murky, Dave Fridmann-produced evolution of piano pop. Intimate vocals drift through tape-saturated textures and unexpected, rapturous crescendos.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive cascade of volume that swallows the final bars of Future Pain
The way the piano and synths interlock into a pulsing heartbeat on The Only Way to Love
The hauntingly sparse piano interlude Patience that acts as a breath between emotional weights
