An alt-rock success from Caroline Strickland, “Prettiest Girl of Heaven” compels in its balance of introspection and vigor. Described as “about desire and self-realization,” the track comes via Strickland’s upcoming Martha’s Calling EP, out on March 7th via Good Eye Records.
Originally from Virginia and now based in Brooklyn, Strickland’s songwriting excels with a heartfelt prowess — on “Prettiest Girl of Heaven” stirring in its sense of lyrical adoration as twangy guitars glide seamlessly, culminating in a multi-vocal title-touting refrain that provides as a satiating conclusion. “Prettiest Girl of Heaven” is a thoroughly memorable showing.
