Album Review

Swati is a New York-based singer/songwriter with a lot of style and what may be an overabundance of substance. Vocally, she's like Sheryl Crow except snarlier. Musically, she's as captivating as she is fierce — strap a guitar on her and she comes alive, coaxing out sounds that rate a 50-50 chance of being soothing or unsettling. Where she'll come on slightly too strong for some listeners is with her unflinching lyrics: Small Gods details deep, dark feelings of emptiness ("MF"), loneliness ("Blackjack"), and chemically enhanced freakishness ("Stay"). Nowhere does it stint on profanity. For all its Courtney Love- and Ani DiFranco-reminiscent anger and anguish laid bare, the overall vibe of Small Gods isn't a crushing one — nobody with an ear for off-the-hook honesty will be eager to walk away from it. What Swati may lack in emotional stability, she makes up for on Small Gods in talent.

Born in New York City in 1973 to parents who had emigrated from India, Swati Sharma grew up in a musical household, and studied...
