iTunes Single of the Week
Start a Riot
Jetta
Liverpool-born Jetta hits the big
notes, recalling Annie Lennox or Florence + The Machine. Consider “Start a
Riot,” which begins with nothing more than a bass guitar’s plaintive strumming
– the perfect foil for Jetta’s powerful pipes. Tambourines and tribal rhythms
temper the song’s anthemic qualities, grounding the ethereal with the earthly.
