Just yesterday, José González got us into an acoustic mood with his new album, Vestiges & Claws, and though Stephanie Fraser isn't providing folk music here, she definitely satisfies our craving for some stripped-down-sounding singer-songwriter material. The British songstress only has three songs on her SoundCloud right now, and on the very first one entitled "Trying To Resist", she showcases brilliantly her vocal talent. Besides a few very subtle additions on the latter half of the track, it's one composed of no more than mellow guitar plucking and Stephanie's breathtaking croon that's clearly the focus here. Minimal as it all is, it sounds great, so listen to it when you've the chance and also considering downloading it for free by signing up for her email list on her personal website.
