Despite having a tenure as a signee to a Universal Records affiliate, grabbing a modest hit with her Cee Lo Green collaboration, "Come Along," and generally gaining a huge swath of new fans, Vicci Martinez has returned to Tacoma and to her more independent roots. Teaming up with local hip-hop producer DJ Phinisey and Goldfinch members Aaron Stevens and Paul Hirschl, Martinez once again entered the studio to produce a record that's wildly different from the singer-songwriter work she's done before.
