Sufjan Stevens stopped by The Guardian to praise jazz vocalist Jimmy Scott. Scott sings in a youthful soprano, and finds unusual phrasings and emphases inside every song (Stevens talked about this in his interview with Brandon too). Notes Stevens: “Pop music is so structured, and I’m excited to try and challenge that in my own work.” More of Stevens’s appreciation at The Guardian.
