Cedar + Gold

• Tristan Prettyman - Cedar & Gold - CD Brand New

Tristan Prettyman took an extended break prior to making her new<br>album Cedar + Gold. She traveled the globe, had surgery to remove<br>polyps on her vocal cords, got engaged to her long-term boyfriend, dealt<br>with the pain of his ending the engagement, and eventually questioned<br>whether she even wanted to be a musician at all.<br>With an artistry that lies in her finely etched lyrical details and intimate<br>vocal performances, Prettyman spares no one, including herself, on songs<br>like Say Anything, I Was Gonna Marry You, Come Clean, Glass Jar, <br>and Never Say Never. As intense as some of the songs may be, the mood is<br>tempered not only by playfully twisted tunes like first single My Oh My, <br>but also by the album s warm, earthy sound, which Prettyman created<br>with her producer Greg Wells (Adele, Katy Perry), who plays piano, bass,<br>drums, and some guitar on the album.
