Risa Binder is sort of my soul sister. We both love sparkly dresses, smiling and really good songs about break-ups. Risa's energy is infectious and her new album, Paper Heart, is a direct reflection of that. She sings the songs we all need in our life. The stand out song for me on her record is, Uncovered, her sweet voice and even sweeter lyrics create a hit!

Risa's music lives somewhere between Taylor Swift and Colbie Caillat. She's totally one to watch. I was so excited when she came to chill with me on the yellow couch and talk boys, music and sparkly dresses! She also stuck around and played a special acoustic session for me -- do not miss!
