Melissa Weikart’s expressive vocals ride the subtle wave of shifting piano work between major and minor chords throughout “Easy,” the title track to her latest EP. In the video we see the singer-songwriter in black and white alternating between white line drawings on black in moments and household items that anchor one’s memories. Weikart seems to be singing about how we make space for others and do little things for those we love or wish loved us so that we are not difficult to have in their lives. But in Weikart’s resonant vocals we hear melancholic overtones that leave the unspoken impression that such gestures of quiet affection are not always extended to us when we need them. Without spelling anything out in granular emotional detail Weikart nevertheless articulates a nuanced personal headspace that isn’t often the subject of pop songs.
