If you're looking for a healthy dose of organic, beautifully sung acoustic-folk, look no further than New York-based singer-songwriter Aisha Badru for your fix. "Waiting Around" is the name of her debut offering, and and it's quite a powerful introduction. Quiet and uncomplicated, the number features Badru's gentle vocals backed by subtle instrumentation, and, in particular, a lovely string arrangement in the background. The effect is both soothing and touching, and seeing that it's her first single release from upcoming EP, Vacancy, bet that we'll be keeping up with her material moving forward. Purchase "Waiting Around" for a buck on Bandcamp. [via Crack in the Road]
