Colorado-based singer/songwriter Pamela Machala (“MOCK-uh-luh”) calls her latest album Something Simple. Pamela strikes an earthy yet elegant aesthetic balance with influences ranging from jazz and soul to musical theater and folk. Signatures of Pamela’s songwriting include sprightly hooks, effortless vocals, subtly complex chord changes, feelgood funky grooves, and boldly vulnerable lyrics. The songs on Something Simple, which would fit comfortably on a playlist with artists such as Sara Bareilles, Carole King, and Lake Street Dive, have already earned Pamela some accolades: American Songwriter awarded her an Honorable Mention in their July 2018 lyric contest for "Cardboard Cutout”, and her song “Bleeding Me Dry” received the Grand Prize in the 2019 SongDoor International Songwriting Competition.
