Tristan Prettyman

If I asked you to name a female singer with a soothing, California voice and relaxing acoustics, Colbie Caillat would probably come to mind; if I told you this singer collaborated with Jason Mraz and was occasionally compared to Jack Johnson, you'd probably start getting pretty confident about your answer. Caillat's everyone's MySpace favorite, but Tristan Prettyman has been doing it all for years, and doesn't get nearly the attention she deserves. She came onto the scene in 2005 with her first hit single Love, Love, Love, and her newest single Madly was the featured iTunes single a few weeks ago. Some attention, but still not enough. 

Here's another song off her newest LP, a jazzier piece from a jazzier studio effort. I'll try and post something a little more typical of hers soon, some happy SoCal acousticism. But for now...

Here's In Bloom from Hello...x.
