Vincent Colbert is another example of weather and location influencing art. Colbert wrote his debut EP, Stranger in My House, when he moved to Michigan, and, well, felt like a stranger in his own home. He didn’t know who he become, or who he was. Transitions are one of the most challenging periods of life, and it’s music that time and again gets us through it. Colbert’s simplicity is the name of the game, especially on his single “Baseline.” Just acoustic guitar, light percussion, and stripped down vocals. That’s how I like it in rainy NYC.
