2. Jessica Pratt – ‘Back, Baby’
The LA songwriter comes back strong.
The songlady who made one of my favourite albums of 2012 and one of favourite singer-songwriter albums in the last few years returns in January with a new album On Your Own Love Again. ‘Back, Baby’ hasn’t lost that same air of eerie nostalgic songwriting, like Pratt went back to the past to record it.
