Danika Smith performs a raw, timeless style of folk music with undertones of jazz and soul. She is known for her tender topics, honey stick melodies and charismatic satire. But something s shifting.

Fearless: How Difficult Is Taylor Swift s Re-Recording Mission? A look at the technical feats she ll need to overcome.
The sound and impact of so many classic albums are intrinsically tied to where they were recorded: the acoustic space, the microphones used, the precise angle at which the vocalist stood at the mic â and that s before getting into mixing details like reverbs and shaping frequencies with EQ.
We all know of at least one track which was initially just a demo, but ended up making the album when the artist couldn t quite recapture the magic of that original recording.

All this to say, the specific way a song is recorded is a vital part of its magic.
