Going through our digital submission queue always gives us a glimpse of the incredible variety of music made in NYC, but we rarely find an artist whose work efficiently encompasses many different genres without losing its core identity. When that happens, though, it’s a real treat. We didn’t know much about the songwriter who goes by Manett other than that she hails from the post punk band called Cholo, yet her vocals contain a distinct clarity that makes her music something easy to relate to. Although most of her tunes contain a similarly up-beat and brightly colored aura, there is an incredible range of tonalities; the songs alternate between primarily electronic sounds to acoustic, at times her vocals are distorted and at other times crystal clear. Take note of the artist who successfully masters inconsistency, it’s not an easy task. – Jake Saunders
