Looking for the next teen idol who’s actually worth the listen? Clue: she’s nowhere within Miley, Justin, or One Direction.
We’d like to introduce you to 18 year-old prodigy Dana Lee Hom, who’s trying her luck in a world now saturated with 20-something female singer-songwriters. However, what she has in her armament — pure, unadulterated passion.
The Boston native kickstarts her debut album Almost Gone with the upbeat, piano-driven “Grow Old“. Drum beats couldn’t wait but enter just a few seconds later, turning it into a heartfelt love anthem that’s just…too sweet.
Still with her fingertips on those keys, Dana continues with her parade of bitter/sweet anthems — “Give It Up, Give It All Away“, “Empty Space“, and “Like We Did“, to mention a few.
Home girl might be taking cues from heartbreak cheese queen Taylor Swift, but we’re beginning to prefer the piano over those tiresome strums. By the time she hits it with a live session of “Almost Gone“, we’re already filled with the yearning that a respectable label comes and sweeps her off her feet.
We’re on a sugar high.
