Artist Spotlight: Agnes Milewski
Agnes Milewski's Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls, the singer/songwriter's first, is a pure gem that shines, glistens and warms. Musically, there are no flaws. Instrumentation includes traditional guitars, keyboards, and generally light percussion held together with Agnes' unforced, pure falsetto vocals.
Leading off this offering is
Falling From Grace
, a ballad that
sweeps and lulls the listener into a dreamy soundscape. This is
followed by the uptempo
Perfect Blue Sky
, which, while ramped
up and more aggressive-sounding, still manages to fit in perfectly
with the overall feel of the collection.
Having a flare for the poetic, Agnes highlights her work with
prose that can be sweet or sad.
Steal Away My Autumn
blends a sad
story of a relationship gone south with sweeping, percussive
orchestration, while
Light In My Pocket
is all about slowing down
and taking it easy.
Born in Knurów, Poland on July 30, 1983, Agnes now lives and performs in nearby Vienna, Austria. Besides her writing and singing duties on Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls, Agnes is responsible for the wonderful keyboard work you hear here. Keep an eye out for her next move, as she's on tour this year, and don't miss adding this one to your collection in the meantime!
