RFC Article: Love For The Ladies - Hesta Prynn

The following is an excerpt from my article for Radio Free Chicago.

Sometimes hip-hop, sometimes electro, Hesta Prynn is a true millennial artist whose sound is a mashup of influences making her genre undefinable. Her sound evokes many of her female contemporaries such as M.I.A., Amanda Blank or Santigold. The sound is thick, with actual drums, guitars and bass rather than samples that is a bedrock for Prynn to stand upon firmly while her vocals take off in any direction she chooses. Whether she coos like a disco diva, rocks either a Butthole Surfers or Neon Indian cover or croons a duet with Les Savy Fav's Time Harrington, Hesta Prynn chameleon ways can seemingly do it all. But let me veer off course, if only for a moment... We have a everywoman here that is as smart as a whip, as sweet as they come, an obvious open arms approach to music AND digs a good horror flick. Place that within the stunning package as viewed in the given pictures and you have what my Daddy would call "marriage material". If only she bothered to listen to your overtures. Her digital EP Can We Go Wrong hit the Internets back in July. Give it a listen on her website or purchase the EP here.
