Before Pepi Ginsberg debuted with Juice: Stephanie/Stephanie in 2006, her multi-faceted artistry had blossomed as visual and written creativity at college in West Philadelphia, where she penned her first novella at age 19. Her talents have since bubbled forth in three albums, one of which she resourcefully recorded in her Brooklyn apartment bathroom. Her new EP, Shake This, released Oct. 20, is her most spry pop endeavor to date, finding her wounded, vivacious voice, quivering high over peppy drum bursts and jaunty electrics that keep time with the album’s jumpy pace. Aside from its feel-good instrumentation, Shake This’ stinging motifs are evidenced in Ginsberg’s shaky croons, which delicately flesh out her every zeal and sorrow. — Gage Henry
