Inara George ‘Tiny Girl’
Today's Top Tune: Inara George ‘Tiny Girl’ Los Angeles based singer Inara George releases “Tiny Girl” today, the latest single from her forthcoming album Songs of Douglass & Littell, out March 20. Built on a melody written by Eliot Douglass at eighteen and lyrics later added by Philip Littell specifically for George, the song is quietly biographical — reflecting her life through words and music created decades apart. With subtle jazz inflections and an intimate singer-songwriter feel, “Tiny Girl” lets George’s voice carry the emotional weight of a deeply personal collaboration across time. (Release Me Records)
Maisy Owen ‘On My Way Down’
Today's Top Tune: Maisy Owen ‘On My Way Down’ Nashville native Maisy Owen has been immersed in music her entire life, raised in a musical family where songcraft was second nature. Drawing on the moody intimacy of Nick Drake, the folk finesse of Bert Jansch, and the hazy dream-pop glow of Mazzy Star, she’s carving out a sound all her own. Her debut album arrives this spring, but for now, here’s a first taste with “On My Way Down.” (Tompkins Square)
