Album Review: Kina Grannis - Elements

Amorina Fitzgerald Hood

You’ll enjoy if you like your pop tunes tight, hooky and full of un-self-conscious heart.

More Kina Grannis Kina Grannis Profile



Writing wonderfully saccharine music destined for ads and emotional TV moments, Kina Gannis gained serious Internet fame in 2011 with an stop motion jellybean video. Elements sees her music and production evolve to a commercial version of indie-pop: more mature and playing with harmonies and percussion. Grannis' voice is sweet, but not syrupy, and there is just enough edge in the songs. Oh Father and Throw It Away successfully bring some alt-country vibes, and Dear River and The Fire are just exquisite. You'll enjoy if you like your pop tunes tight, hooky and full of un-self-conscious heart.
