Summary
Today's Top Tune: Inara George ‘Tiny Girl’
Los Angeles based singer Inara George releases “Tiny Girl” today, the latest single from her forthcoming album Songs of Douglass & Littell, out March 20. Built on a melody written by Eliot Douglass at eighteen and lyrics later added by Philip Littell specifically for George, the song is quietly biographical — reflecting her life through words and music created decades apart. With subtle jazz inflections and an intimate singer-songwriter feel, “Tiny Girl” lets George’s voice carry the emotional weight of a deeply personal collaboration across time.
