iTunes Single of the Week

Reflections
MisterWives



Jumping between a fluttering falsetto and a big-throated wail, MisterWives’ Mandee Lee sings in a way that’s skillful, electrifying, and instantly memorable; it’s little surprise she studies both opera and songwriting at one of New York City’s most prestigious performing arts high schools. After playing together for a little more than a year, the soul-infused indie pop group has already earned raves at the CMJ Music Marathon. With a stomping four-on-the-floor beat, chiming guitars, and an acrobatic melody, “Reflections” (the track from the group’s debut EP) is a vivid introduction to the band.
