Mr. Twin Sister
“Blush”
Mr. Twin Sister (out 09.23, self-released)
“Have you ever felt like you would always be alone?” A song built around a lyric like that really has no right to feel good, but the NYCers pull it off with this gorgeous, lithe waltz. “Blush,” the cornerstone of their exquisite comeback LP, is a shuffling ballad that just washes over you, thanks to vocalist Andrea Estella’s inviting coo and a lush, “More Than a Woman 2014” arrangement. At this point, its late night sax outro (you read that right) has a Pavlovian effect on me, reminding subconsciously that it’s time to start the song over again. Magic.
