Love Song” is the type of tune you want to put on after a long day, as Alyssa Hankey’s gorgeous voice could be a soothing antidote for any trying inconvenience. With a remarkable Americana sound, the Pittsburgh-based singer humbly asks that you go easy on her heart: “I’ve been up / I’ve been down / I been chewed up and then spit out / I’ve been going it alone / I never learned to dance / but if you give me a chance / I’ll give your heart a home.
— Elle Mannion (The Best 2020 Tiny Desk Contest Entries We Saw This Week: Volume 3, NPR's All Songs Considered)
Her music appeals to a wide demographic, including the musicians of yesterday and current learners who feel they just weren’t made for these times. Hankey makes music for old souls who want to hear something new, and if that isn’t an achievement for a talented young songwriter, quite frankly, I’m not sure what is.
