Serena Ryder tries to crack the American market with this EP, though -- in the song choices on this EP -- she frequently resembles a fellow Canadian songstress, Alanis Morissette. This is especially true of the singles, "Weak in the Knees" and "Brand New Love." When originally released on iTunes, this EP came with a bonus video showing Ryder getting her American recording contract and introducing the masses to this bright young artist. Walking the line between folk and rock with delicate ease, Told You in a Whispered Song is a phenomenal introduction to a formidably gifted talent. While she has created quite a name for herself in her native Canada, one can only hope her music translates over to the American scene. The rest of the world doesn't know what it's missing.
Earthman says he could listen to more of Serena Ryder so I thought I'd oblige. And wouldn't you know it, I do have a cold, but my love is far away.I love how Ryder's voice seems at once familiar with hints of various female vocals and yet it's all its own.

This is the song that made me absolutely gaga over Serena Ryder. It may have also been in Ms. Ryder's favor that I have been v. busy of late falling in love. Anyhow, enjoy.
