Real to Me (EP)
Real to Me is a 2003 extended play (EP) by American singer and songwriter Michelle Branch. It was released independently on July 29, 2003, prior to the release of her second major label album, Hotel Paper.
The EP contains five tracks, primarily showcasing Branch's singer-songwriter style with a focus on acoustic arrangements. It is generally considered to be a bridge between the pop-rock sound of her debut album, The Spirit Room, and the more mature, alternative rock influences explored on Hotel Paper.
Track Listing:
- Sweet Misery
- Goodbye To You
- Papercut
- I'd Rather Be In Love
- Real to Me
The EP allowed Branch to experiment with different sounds and song structures outside the constraints of a major label release. Real to Me was a limited release and is now primarily available through online marketplaces and fan communities.
