Kirsten Thien Two Sides

Many an artist has embarked on a journey of duality, to further explore the contrasts between two concepts, ie. success and failure, struggle and hope, self-doubt and empowerment. New York City based singer songwriter Kirsten Thien titled her new album Two Sides after discovering her tunes fitted into this premise. She assembled them akin to the A and B sides of vinyl 45-singles . The eight new tracks on her fifth release showcase many sides of the accomplished performer as she moves easily from rock to blues, gospel to soul, her throaty alto beautifully in sync with her skills on acoustic and electric guitar.
