EP Review: Taylor Veino 'rebound'

Currently in the Songwriting Program at Belmont University, Taylor Veino, recently released her debut EP, rebound, on February 19th. The three song project, all penned by Veino, is a heartfelt and honest look into relationships with Veino’s vocals both sweetly warm and assured.

The melancholy and banjo driven opener, “Dust,” smartly compares items in her home waiting to be handled again (candle, book, dress) to a relationship distant and stale. “Oh they’re just things waiting to be picked up where they left off, just like us collecting dust.” The country pop “Rebound” (with an infectious hand clap filled bridge) asks a guy to be her rebound even though it may sound “kinda weird leaving my lips,” while the emotional ballad “Nametag” closes a lovely EP that leaves you anticipating more music - and a bright future - from Veino.
