Evann McIntosh started out as a wunderkind teen-ager who wrote melodic love ballads with interesting textures and a bit of a bedroom production feel, then quickly evolved into an artist with a distinct musical point of view. Their music is often soulful, frequently with something quirky in the way it flows. A significant leap forward came on their 2021 release Character Development, where the artist sounded more confident and full as they further explored R&B and funk in addition to having developed a jazz touch while they remained anchored in the world of balladry. Shades of Billie Eilish can be detected in their delivery, presentation, and their ability to distill big pop ideas into small gestures.
