    While the album title suggests that Winston's talents may be less than genuine, King Con is never anything less than truly inspired.

    For the most part, though, King Con's an enjoyable collection, one that presents Winston as an artist with a strong enough personality to overcome that dip and to stand out in a scene where it can be hard to make an impression.

    Though the album overstays some of its freshness by the closing tracks, nearly everything Winston sings up to "Sister Wife" adds an inspired spin on common pop idioms.

    Alex Winston is capable of writing some excellent indie-pop gems, she just hasn't figured out to do it with consistency.
