Right from the opening bars of “Life is Like a Latte,” we get a flavor of what acoustic soul-pop artist Cassia Dawn is all about, namely the sweetest melodies adding color and vibrancy to her tales of everyday life. The entire Life is Like a Latte EP, in fact, features five tracks that all seem to be centered around working in a coffeeshop. Inspiration strikes at the funniest times, apparently. So we also get the pointed and perhaps metaphorical “No Free Refills,” and the allegorical “Spinning Plates.” Dawn’s voice is delicately expressive, and her songs are expertly constructed.
