New University - Show Review by
New UniversityLos Angeles-based singer-songwriter Molly Marlette opened the concert with well-crafted indie-folk-pop songs from her EP “The Allumette.” Her bluesy, folksy vocals were reminiscent of Sara Bareilles and Jenny Lewis, and her expressive lyrics transcended typical, sappy, bubblegum-pop lyrics.

FensePostMolly Marlette makes super lovable female folk pop. Each tune is super catchy. I was immediately smitten with “Sleep Must Heal The Heart”. What can I say? The song is totally adorable! Initially, I heard elements of modern baroque pop artists like The Postmarks blend with folk-y girl songwriters such as Laura Veirs, but there’s a lot more to Marlette than such a comparison warrants.
While my favorite is “Sleep Must Heal The Heart”, other tunes are just as powerful. “Over Reactions” and “How Does That Sound” are a bit more upbeat—a bit more awake, if you will. And then there’s the title track of her recent album, The Allumette. The tune has minimal instrumentation, allowing the listener to focus on Marlette’s vocals.
