On Leaving by Nina Nastasia

The hauntingly beautiful new album from Nina Nastasia arrives perfectly formed and long overdue. Nina's fourth album, On Leaving, finds the hugely talented, NYC-based singer-songwriter at her best. Nina Nastasia's rare gift of a voice is an intimate, winged presence that is able to either freeze or melt your heart, that can powerfully soar and twist, or brush ultra-gently against you, suddenly summoning goose bumps. Mojo commented on its ability to "suck the air out of the room". Simultaneously tough and fragile, her songs crackle and smolder with an intimate emotional honesty and a dark undertow.
