She does both on lead single \u201cMaster of Art,\u201d a standout track that builds from classic girl-group pop to a sparkling refrain that will stick in your head for days. Stevenson intertwines her vocal with lilting accordion on \u201cThe Healthy One,\u201d sings with ringing power over solo piano on \u201cFinish Piece,\u201d and creates a dusty vocal symphony with multi-tracked harmonies on \u201cRed Clay Roots,\u201d which has the feel of an old 78 crackling through the Victrola. It\u2019s a powerful song on an engaging album from a singer and songwriter who\u2019s very much on her way up. \u2013Eric R.
