    This is Nguyen's strongest work yet, with the aforementioned songwriting taking a leap forward, while gradually perfecting her melting pot sound of country, folk and pop.

    By seeking out a shared experience that everybody they’re reaching out to can hold on to, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down have created an album with We the Common that’s anything but common.

    Even when duetting with harp sprite Joanna Newson, she avoids the trappings of twee.

    It’s all lovely stuff, but the darkness within my soul says it’s maybe too lovely.
