There’s a small amount of astringent and floral notes that issue forth from the IPA, while the initial quaff will link together both piney and more apricot-y notes. There’s a great amount of balance here that ensures that…
Jesse Lynn Madera’s latest release, “Unchained,” serves as the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Belle Sent Me, and showcases Madera’s growth as an artist. It’s a compelling cover of Johnny Cash’s 1996 song of the same name, but the track is only similar in the broadest of strokes as Madera taps into something far more maternal and emotional with her take on the track.
