[Notable Album Release] Kacey Johansing – Many Seasons

Kacey Johansing, based in San Fransisco, makes soft pop folk music that would definitely do Harlem well when they make it back to the States for their Chai tea and hot towels. Soothing vocals and a light demeanor (despite the, at times, dark lyrics) mark the overall ‘tude of her music. Johansing, whose […]
