Taylor Dukes‘ voice is smooth like your favorite silk shirt- assuming you own a silk shirt. Other things one could compare her voice to include polished wood, or cinnamon ice cream. Not only does the singer bless us with her warm (and at times sultry) vocals on her new song "Gravity," but also with an incredibly tasteful arrangement including a mellotron flute, a gorgeous acoustic guitar, a soulful rhythm section, and layers on layers of harmonies. I even hear a little bit of Elton John in the piano-infused bridge. Simply delightful. Catch Taylor Dukes live at the Basement on 8/30. –Geena Kloeppel
