With all my indie cred, sometimes it’s ok to give into pure pop. It’s a guilty pleasure. Kina Grannis is one of those artists; I’ll refrain from naming the others out of sheer number. The songwriting is sweetly pure and there doesn’t seem to be this forced pretense you find with other artists in the genre, at least not on most of her songs. She independently released her debut LP, Stairwells, in Feburary of this year and has landed her music on a few TV shows like General Hospital and College Life. With a resume like hers, I was a little surprised to see that her Dec. 10th show at the El Ray will be her first major headliner. It should be an interesting night from this girl from Mission Viejo.
