Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Elly Hopkins draws deep from the songbook of doo-wop, jazz, folk, and garage rock, crafting gritty-but-grooveable Americana ballads carried by big bluesy power vocals – keeping it fresh all the while. Think PJ Harvey and CMAT’s irresistible pop-rock side project; this’ll hit with fans of: Lady Lamb, Lissie, Aimee Mann, Juju."
