Her new EP, Panacea, produced by James Atin-Godden, features “Potato,” along with four other enchanting tracks including “Dotty Mae” and “No Eye Contact.” The EP was born with Badali’s aim to capture the essence of being stuck in life’s quagmire, uncertain of how to alter circumstances, and overwhelmed by the myriad options that claim to offer solutions.
