?Well travelled music saturated in Soul?
Prita layers vocal harmonies live with her loop pedal, accompanied by hand percussion beats and acoustic guitar. Her jazzy, bluesy voice, over simplistic acoustic guitar riffs and beats creates a sometimes pop bordering on soul, with a sound blending Tracy Chapman, Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse. She recently launched her second EP ?Bootleg Live? at the Swan Basement.
