Pauley |
For her latest release, local singer-songwriter
Mieka Pauley collects five of her best songs on an EP produced
by pop maestro John Alagia (Dave Matthews/Jason Mraz). Her
gritty acoustics have been given an electric glow that leaves
the tunes tastefully shinier without going overboard. “The Way
It Is” maintains her soulful, simplistic style;
self-depreciating lyrics like “I’ll pick you up/When you don’t
fall/And I’ll come running/When you don’t call” are charming,
not mushy. “Faster” embodies the EP’s theme — finding solace
in the dark, but not necessarily the dreary. Pauley’s darkness
is a peaceful solitude, which she finds in both the defiant
“Stronger” and the slippery grasp of “Draped in Blue.”
