Handsome – No Hat No Play
New artist, Handsome, is releasing her EP No Hat No Play tomorrow, and music lovers can expect big things.
Not only did Handsome showcase her skills at BIGSOUND earlier this month, but her EP is an innovative blend of pop and electronica. If you close your eyes, the album sounds as if Florence And The Machine decided to dabble in techno.
Like Florence Welch, Handsome has impressive vocal talent and the ability to hit some powerful notes.
If her voice sounds familiar for a different reason, it could be because Handsome used to create music under the name Caitlin Park. She decided to switch her name to Handsome to pay tribute to her queer identity.
The new songs produced using her new name are stronger than ever, particularly the singles Save Some Love and Late Night Ball Game, which features Joyride.
