San Diego-based singer-songwriter has such a gentle soul that is captured on these very well-produced tracks, such as “Watch The Moon” where with her soft sweet voice Vaughn thrives amid a deceptively simple arrangement, enhanced with electro mood enhancers, that builld the energy as they go. “Sunflower” is in a similar vein, achieving an artful intimacy (mostly just her voice and a guitar) that allows the artist to communicate her deepest feelings. “French Film” is another relationship song, but the mood and energy is quite different—the song is about a troubled relationship (“I’m detailing all your lies.”)—right up to the climactic, unexpectedly aggressive rock-riff outro. Nice.
