Bess Rogers, "Standing Tall"

Although it starts simply enough – pattering hand claps, bouncy ukulele, Bess Rogers’ plain-Jane confessions – the soaring hook of “Standing Tall” is as deeply layered as the song’s message. Rogers’ bittersweet indie pop snuggles up comfortably next to heart-on-sleeve contemporaries like Ingrid Michaelson and Colbie Caillat. With it, she sounds poised for a mainstream breakthrough. – Nate Cavalieri, Google Music
