We had the pleasure of interviewing Evann McIntosh over Zoom video!\xa0

Rising 17-year-old singer-songwriter\xa0Evann McIntosh\xa0(they/them) announces their new album\xa0\u2018Character Development\u2019\xa0out\xa0August 27th\xa0via\xa0Mom+Pop Music.\xa0

Written and recorded primarily in the breakout star\u2019s suburban Kansas bedroom, the 13-track collection mixes dark alt-pop and dreamy R&B with streaks of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, calling to mind everything from Prince to Billie Eilish as it grapples with growth and evolution, gender identity and sexuality, freedom, and self-expression. The album is a work of pure intimacy, a poignant and revealing portrait of modern adolescence from an artist unraveling the mysteries of their psyche one song at a time.\xa0\xa0

\u201cThis record is all about growth and change,\u201d\xa0Evann explains.\xa0\u201cI\u2019m always evolving, and this album is the sound of that transformation, of one version of myself giving way to the next.\u201d

\u201c\u2018NOBODY ELSE\u2019 is about commitment and being very proud of your relationship with somebody,\u201d\xa0Evann says about the song.\xa0\u201cIt is about monogamy and the idea of there being one person for everybody, and that you\u2019ve found yours.\u201d

ABOUT EVANN MCINTOSH:
Character Development is more than just Evann McIntosh\u2019s transfixing new album; it\u2019s their way of life. Written and recorded primarily in the breakout 17-year-old star\u2019s suburban Kansas bedroom, the collection mixes dark alt-pop and dreamy R&B with streaks of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, calling to mind everything from Prince to Billie Eilish as it grapples with growth and evolution, gender identity and sexuality, freedom and self-expression. The writing here is as insightful as it is unpredictable, alternating between earnest poeticism and playful acrobatics, and the production is similarly adventurous, with McIntosh\u2019s longtime collaborator Jesty Beatz once again wrapping their performances in lush, magnetic arrangements. Even at its most densely layered, though, the album remains a work of pure intimacy, a poignant and revealing portrait of modern adolescence from an artist unraveling the mysteries of their psyche one song at a time.\xa0Character Development follows McIntosh\u2019s acclaimed 2019 debut, MOJO, a digital juggernaut that racked up more than 31 million streams in part due to the viral TikTok success of lead single \u201cWhat Dreams Are Made Of.\u201d Ones To Watch hailed the music\u2019s \u201cself-awareness and vulnerability,\u201d while WWD praised McIntosh\u2019s \u201cmaturity and vision,\u201d and Vogue HK declared that they were \u201cready to conquer the world.\u201d The record also caught the attention of esteemed indie label Mom + Pop, who signed McIntosh over Zoom in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.\xa0
