The words "close-knit" are definitely appropriate when referred to NYC rootsy pop band Saint Adeline, since the it’s comprised of three sibilings: Drew, Kasie and Chloe Gasparini. After trying separate artistic careers, the trio almost accidentally found themselves on a stage performing together, only to realize what kind of rare chemistry existed between them. Since then, they’ve been working on material for a debut record, and what we are premiering here is the band’s first single, entitled Jumpstart. Written by Drew, this is a song about reclaiming control of one’s life narrative after a negative (sentimental) experience. Chloe’s bright and optimistic soprano fits the theme perfectly, while the acoustic arrangement and well orchestrated vocal harmonies convey an uplifting and hopeful sonic carpet.
