If you belong to the ranks of sophisticated music lovers who are not intimidated by jazzy influences and value chord progressions a little more complex than the ones found in the average Ramones song, the debut single from 23-year-old singer-songwriter Elisa Coia may be just what you need. The Brooklyn by way of Rhode Island songstress released "This Human Ache" on July 13, the first track and video from her upcoming, self-produced debut EP entitled "These Days." Blending airy loungy melodies with a voice that's full of soul, Coia offers an infectious and confident introduction to her musiclal talents. The music video, which you can check out below, is a surreal and dream-like production that pairs well with the dreamy atmosphere of the song, and the singer's smooth moves feed our hopes for an engagin and theatrical live performance (although the artists has no shows scheduled at the moment). "These Days" is due to be released sometime this September and will contain three tracks, including "This Human Ache." - Patrick Wolff - The Deli Magazine
