Lifted from her deluxe edition of her award winning 2012 album 'Harmony' comes another radio friendly catchy pop track from Canadian wunderkind Serena Ryder. I'm sure she is now too old to be dubbed wunderkind, but her talent never ceases to amaze me - her songwriting, her performing and that incredible voice - powerful, textured and versatile. 'Hey there' is more poppy than some of Serena's more rock based or bluesy styled numbers. The singer is able to perform any genre and has done in her career thus far. In Canada she is an award winning national treasure; in Australia she has a loyal following thanks to her many visits here where she toured, appeared on national TV shows and performed at festivals; reaching out to a wise cross section of audiences. 

I love how Serena seamlessly traverses octaves and keeps such power and pitch as she scales her notes and her key changes. While the refrain in this song is 'there ain't nobody else like you' - and i agree, there is a Suzi Quatro like quality to her look and sound. I'm not sure if Serena was influenced by 'The Wild One' - but Serena is in many ways a throwback to a different era - one where the organics of rock and roll and soulful music ruled. She is the real deal. I hope people discover her - she is a treat.
