Brooklyn indie songwriter Mirah has always been a wonderfully eclectic artist, with each album bringing new sounds and ideas. For her latest work, she’s collaborating with longtime friend Jherek Bischoff, a noted composer. Together, the two rework key songs from her past catalog, bringing closer vocals and string-quartet arrangements. It’s quite lovely, and even when the arrangements don’t stray that far from the originals, the new intimacy of Mirah’s vocals on these tracks is worth the price of purchase itself. Physically, this is a vinyl-only EP, but pick up the digital version and you get four additional songs, some of which are more adventurous than the proper tracks. There’s only one new composition here, the title track, but it’s a hopeful number that’s full of the same kind of sunshine that infuses the EP.
