The Star Prairie Project, the genre-blending brainchild of Wisconsin-based songwriter Nolen R. Chew Jr., unveils eighth studio album Little Gems, an enchanting 12-track collection rooted in sonic diversity and cinematic storytelling.
Spanning rock, Americana and indie pop, the album moves through introspection, longing, joy, and redemption, showcasing the full expanse of The Star Prairie Project’s genre-bending artistry.
Creating a lush sonic world laden in thoughtful tales and catchy soundscapes, the heart of the album rests in “Down Boy,” a playful and seductive indie pop number featuring rising vocalist Ivy Marie. Framed by sultry beats, lilting vocals and a warming charm, the track explores themes of temptation, age-gap attraction, and shifting power dynamics as it leaves you wanting more of the alluring project.
Other standouts like “Poor Pitiful Me,” “Tess,” “When You See God In Everything,” and “Without You,” the album is a hypnotic and layered offering that dazzles us at every turn.
A growing global collaboration of artists, The Star Prairie Project continues to expand its fanbase led by its musical diversity and penchant for experimentation.
