Porter Singer - Artist to Watch, Hear…

4:32PM ON 02/10/2008
BY J.J. Cantante

Porter SingerTo quote an article written about her in November: “Porter Singer is a Borders’ Books and Music favorite. Considering that the Wesport (CT) resident will perform more than handful of times at stores all over New England, the nationwide chain seems to understand what makes the 24-year-old performer’s songs so precocious.”

Ok, so like, it’s a massive book chain you say…, but the emerging chanteuse and pianist (and Brown grad) will make you forget that, even despite the lighting. Her songs are intricate, her lyrics are beautiful, and her voice is lovely, rich and nuanced.

People describe her with a whole bunch of comparisons (Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple…), but she has a truly unique command of the song form.
