With delicate, expansive ballads like "Bird" and "Heavy Weather," 16-year-old Yorkshire folk-rocker Billie Marten proved last year that she's talented beyond measure and wise beyond her years. "Milk & Honey" is Marten's latest, and it continues her hot streak. What begins as a breathy acoustic swirl blooms into a lush arrangement topped off by triumphal brass. As ever, Marten sounds vulnerable yet in complete command of her considerable powers. Enjoy.

Marten's debut album is expected this autumn on RCA in the UK and Columbia in the US.
