Keren Ann / A Girl Called Eddy

Show Description

On the heels of critical success for her sublime debut U.S. album, Not Going Anywhere on Metro Blue Records, Paris and New York-based singer-songwriter Keren Ann follows with Nolita, another intimate collection of quiet, lyrical gems, this time sung in both French and English, and with more diverse, multi-textured soundscapes. Recorded in Paris and New York, the CD, both beautiful and mysterious, pays homage to New York, her adopted home where she spent much of last year. "It's not for lack of confidence that Keren Ann sings just above a whisper... Her clear, calm voice is one of serene mystery and subtle melancholy: cool but never detached... Keren Ann's songs are precise, not wispy, and they can make a few fingerpicked notes seem to enfold an entire world."-The New York Times www.kerenann.com



A Girl Called Eddy is a woman with something to say and a unique way of saying it. Called "mouth-wateringly luscious" by Mojo, her extraordinary debut record is full of romance, elegance, sophistication and shimmering melodies that is certain to appeal to fans of the likes of Beth Orton and Aimee Mann. The songs betray the influence of many of her musical heroes, from Bacharach and McCartney to Scott Walker and Brian Wilson via Todd Rundgren and the Carpenters. But they also reveal her as a unique voice and a disarmingly original talent who draws on her experience to create a series of highly personal and yet universal vignettes that are deeply moving and yet retain an irresistible pop sensibility. "Melodic, Melancholic, Dramatic, Passionate, Elegant - A Girl Called Eddy makes Beautiful Music" - Robert Smith, The Cure. www.agirlcallededdy.com/eddy.html
