Christina Courtin's "Foreign Country," off her recent eponymous Nonesuch release, has been chosen as NPR's Song of the Day. "Courtin's self-titled debut is mercilessly charming," says NPR, "a conflation of sweet and sad that manages the neat (and difficult) trick of being endlessly effervescent without inducing tooth decay." The selected song is described as "twinkly, jaunty and blithe," one that "suggests an intriguing future for Courtin."
Christina Courtin's "Foreign Country," the third track off her recent eponymous Nonesuch release, has been chosen as NPR's Song of the Day today. "Courtin's self-titled debut is mercilessly charming," says NPR's Allison L. Stewart of the new album, "a conflation of sweet and sad that manages the neat (and difficult) trick of being endlessly effervescent without inducing tooth decay."
In commending "Foreign Country" as Song of the Day, Stewart says it "sounds like the happiest not-quite-love song of the year." She goes on to describe it as "twinkly, jaunty and blithe" and, not least, says the song "suggests an intriguing future for Courtin."
