Stylistic and authentic in her recalling of traditional country music and with the poise of relevant Americana, Steph Irene warrants a heavy hit with her debut singles. Masterfully recorded by producer/engineer Scott Franchuk of Riverdale Records (Del Barber, Shaela Miller) Steph’s textured, soprano warble accomplishes incredible emotion combined with thoughtful songwriting for a triumphant premiere. As a founding member of her folk-leaning, bilingual project, Post Script, Steph spent much of the last 5 years touring and recording as a duo with husband/musician Paul Cournoyer. Now exploring a distinctly separate revelation, she clearly pays homage to traditional country, etched in longing and despair. Simultaneously, she delivers on melodic promises and rich, warm recordings reminiscent of The Jayhawks, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. Armed with strong arrangements and empathetic content, Steph creates a harmonious balance between toe-tapping and hard-thinking. Without a doubt, her debut will be both skillfully executed and celebrated.
