Torres











Torres is a Nashville-based 22-year-old singer-songwriter named Mackenzie Scott, and on "Honey," she plugs in a Gibson guitar, opens her mouth, and stops time. The song, from her upcoming self-titled record, starts moonlit and slow, building gradually and promising a pulse-quickening Big Payoff that never quite arrives. All of the song's tightly compressed fireworks occur, instead, within Scott's huge, trembling, raw, voice, and the abject emotional intensity with which she wields it. "Honey, while you were ashing in your coffee/I was thinking of telling you've what you done to me," she murmurs.
