My Own Devices

Singer and rapper Dessa is a young woman with many stories, which she shares with heartrending honesty as she narrates her memoir on love, life, and music. With her conversational style, she sounds like a next-door neighbor or a close friend who has come over for a long overdue cup of coffee and ended up staying for dinner. Hers is a story many will find familiar as she speaks of growing up a tomboy, going to college, and falling in love--and therein lies the charm. As Dessa recounts her comings and goings, we remember our own. An easy listen, perfect for a road trip or flight. M.R. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
