Artist Spotlight: Agnes Milewski

June 18th, 2008
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 Play Button Falling From Grace , a ballad that sweeps and lulls the listener into a dreamy soundscape. This is followed by the uptempo Play Button 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. Play Button Steal Away My Autumn blends a sad story of a relationship gone south with sweeping, percussive orchestration, while Play Button 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!
