    Growth emerges as the central theme of Priscilla Ahn’s album When You Grow Up, a stunning twelve-song set produced by Ethan Johns that exhibits Ahn’s profound growth as an artist and a songwriter. Ahn wrote or co-wrote all but one of the album’s songs, threading a loose storyline through life’s ups and downs, her angelic voice narrating the experiences through which we grow.

    Tempting as it may be to label When You Grow Up a concept album, it isn’t. The album title came to Ahn one night after dinner with Ethan’s father, industry legend Glyn Johns, long after all the songs were written. Likewise, the loose story arc that begins with childhood, progresses through cycles of romance and heartbreak, and concludes with the wise, reflective “Torch Song,” only emerged after settling on that title. That might seem a bit backwards, but it’s the nature of life—and the creative process. We never truly know what has transpired until we have time to look back and reflect. All of us, especially artists, are always in flux, ever changing. Judging from When You Grow Up, listeners can expect even bigger and better things from Priscilla Ahn over time.
