'Myth of the Heart,' produced by Emile Kelman and featuring many of T Bone Burnett's first-call session players, has already earned rave reviews.
"At the top end, her voice hits angelic highs reminiscent of Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris." - LA Times
"Her smoky voice, bluesy folk sound and lifetime love of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits have finally been captured on her debut album." - Paste (Best of What's Next)
"Smith's wise-beyond-her-years lyrics...and tender melodies express a kind of weary innocence that's immensely appealing...'Myth of the Heart' is as auspicious as it is excellent.' - Austin Chronicle
"The 21-year-old Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter's debut album invokes lazy summer nights and sweaty slow dancing. A must!" - Glamour
"Smith's ethereal pipes pull you in, and her way with words keeps you there." - American Songwriter
"The striking, lanky redhead exudes confidence and grace before she even opens her mouth, but the real allure comes from her vocals." - Seventeen
"Beautifully crafted pop-country." - Texas Monthly
