My brother's unreleased album... So so so good
Just a girl from Miami, singin' and sewin' in Nashville, and surfin' in water way too cold.
Buick has two brothers, one in blood and one in soul; Both in heart. They are Boey and Levi, respectively. Levi looks like her twin, but, no. Boey is the Real Deal. She also has a Mario, with whom she makes records, and just likes all around. Her best friend is a pretty girl named Eliza Jane, who is rivaled by none in the categories of Bad Ass and Fun. Buick has a musical family and magical friends. Every single one of the aforementioned folks has made it into her music. Buick is working on 3,000 projects at all times, in random rotation... With quick breaks to dance around her little house, Fort Knockout, which she is slowly painting to match a roll of Smarties, chromatically speaking. Sadly, her home is where flowers go to die. This breaks her heart, as she loves daisies and roses beyond explanation. In lieu of Real Life flowers, she draws them all over her stuff, including the dresses she makes. It all works out in the end.
Her full time job is doing her best to love those around her. And figuring out how to tell them that. Not just in songs.
Also, she really, really loves Michael McDonald. She's gonna tell him first chance she gets. Oh yes, she sure is. Stay tuned for the raging duet that will inevitably ensue.
