It's not often that a brilliant young singer gets to work with her chief influences on her first shot out of the park, but Anna Nalick's irresistible blend of crisply poetic lyrics, haunting melodies, rich sense of harmony, and ethereal ambience merits nothing less. On the ock side, she grew up a huge fan of Blind Melon, and former members Christopher Thorn and Brad Smith produce her debut with Eric Rosse -- best known for his work with another obvious inspiration, Tori Amos. As strong a presence as she creates as an artist on airy, symphonic piano-based instant hits like "Breathe (2 AM)" and the mournful, country-flavored title track, she is hindered slightly by over-production on rockers like "Citadel" and "In the Rough." "Citadel" has a cool, dark-toned Fiona Apple vibe, but its powerful guitar textures and trippy sound effects obscure Nalick's precious voice, which is better served by more subtle surroundings, as on another standout, "Forever Love." To her credit, Nalick seems game for both approaches, and will probably score numerous hits with each style, but it's a shame anytime a voice like that is obscured for even a moment. Despite this, she is a rare new shining star in the realm of female singer/songwriters, a deserving heir to the thrones of Amos and Apple.
I'm just taking a chick moment, because this song is every ended relationship I've ever had.♪ I finally realized it was over, and I knew that love wasn't good enough of a reason for me to stay. ♪I'm sick of being happy in relationships that make me miserable.Is there any way to make posts non-friends only? ;)As for the T-dawg, he can't say I didn't warn him.

I feel like I've been away for a very long time. In reality, it is just that I've been way too busy to browse on MOG. I've really missed it as it is one of my favorite sources for new music. I'm really hoping to get more involved here in the new year. Right now I'm in over my head in work from my day job, promised design projects and blogging ventures.Fortunately for me, my Anna Nalick cd h...

This song, by Anna Nalick, was just added to my collection of music. It hit me that most people wish that at one point or another wish to hide from the world, which is what she is discussing in the song. I really like this one and I hope you guys do too!!
