Karla Kane - "Goodguy Sun"

The latest single from San Francisco's Karla Kane was co-written by one of her musical heroes, Martin Newell. "Goodguy Sun" combines the feel of sunny California and the melancholia of England. It has a very orchestral, almost show tune quality to it, and reminds me a ton of Ben Folds (particularly his collaboration with Nick Hornby) and Nellie McKay. "Goodguy Sun" has a wistful, melodic feel, and just enough darkness hidden inside of optimistic melodies to keep it interesting.

You can listen to "Goodguy Sun" below. The song can be purchased as a single via Bandcamp. For more on Karla Kane, check out her website.
