Her Skin - “Bad Dates”

SXSW 2022 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 2

Pairs Well With…First Aid Kit, Sharon Van Etten, Laura Marling

Slow, delicate, and heartbreaking, Her Skin’s music is a mood, somberly and softly delivered over her 2018 debut Find a Place to Sleep and more recent single “Bad Dates”. A whispered guitar line and gentle fingers on the keys provide most of the accompaniment in Her Skin’s music, Americana-based but coming closer emotionally to a bedroom folk-pop perspective. The Italian singer-songwriter strikes a consistent tone in her music, quietly piercing and a bit nostalgic, so expect whatever follows up Find a Place to Sleep to follow those same intentions given her heart-forward songwriting.
