‘Close To Me’ by Sophia Knapp

Close To Me starts off in familiar folk-songstress territory, with gentle, strumming guitar quietly ushering in a lone, wandering voice from somewhere beyond the pines. Then after about a minute or so, Knapp magically transports us to a ’70s discothèque, dropping her genial acoustics for the funk-based shimmying of ABBA and Carpenters-era disco pop. It would be completely jarring if it wasn’t for Knapp’s slinkily melodic voice, which seems to slip into either persona just as comfortably.
