An indie-pop breakthrough that feels like the first step on a long, winding road: Melina Duterte, the Oakland singer-songwriter behind Jay Som, exudes charisma and utilizes the type of storytelling that can help project her intimate vocals on a wide screen -- assisted, of course, by some of the year's most aqueous, spellbinding guitar work.
Everybody Works not only sparkles, but suggests a songwriter with a lot to say, and many more engrossing projects ahead of her.
