"Sweet on Me" (from The Fits, out Jan 15)
(self-released)
***1/2
"Sweet on Me" has a sophisticated love-drunk train song feel, forlorn and saccharine, punctuated by a willful and almost palpable longing. A veteran of the wanderlust-folk scene and the anguish that attends that life, Tadros sounds as sweet on this track as she does world-wise. — James Courtney
