Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

A customer wrote on Amazon about her debut album, Catching A Tiger; “If you have dreams of driving an open top car along an American freeway with the sun in the sky and the wind in your hair, this album is what you need in your stereo”. Couldn’t have put it better myself, which is why I pasted it into this blog post. 11 songs that range from bluesy-folk to unfettered pop and showcase both her remarkable voice and her song writing skills.

I do like Lissie a lot – I think she has an interesting dirty rock voice and a grungy ethos but in a totally pop formulated way. I do however hate a lot of the contrived things that come around when you are signed to a major and targeted a young pop fans such as this quote from her biog “Even in photo shoots I won’t wear concealer, I don’t want to look like someone who painted my face, because everything I do I want to feel natural, I want it to mean something to me, if it doesn’t feel natural I can’t do it.”

Forgetting all that though I first found out about Lissie through her cover of Lady Gaga, its pretty good, check it out here.
