Free Music Notes for Wild HopeFree Music Review: I hope to hear "Moore" of her! Hit: 5 StarsMandy Moore's CD, "Wild Hope," introduces us to a new, talented, folksy singer-songwriter in the style of Anna Nalick, Jewel, and Sara Barielles.
Chances are, you have already heard of Mandy Moore. She appeared in a few movies and also released several teen pop albums back in the late 1990's/early 2000's. At the time, she was compared to Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Christina Augeleria. Well, forget that Mandy Moore. Now, she has re-emerged as a promising talent with a fresh new sound. My favorite songs on the disc are "Extraordinary," "Wild Hope," and "Can't You Just Adore Her." If you are a fan of Jewel and similar songwriters, I highly recommend this album!
Wild Hope PosterBack in the 1990s, when Mandy Moore was still trying to outmaneuver fellow junior glamazons Britney, Jessica, and Christina up the pop charts, the best song she was able to pull from her bag of tricks was "Candy," a tune that was way more Twizzler than Starburst. Cut to 2007: Moore, a respected Hollywood actress (never mind the Diane Keaton dud Because I Said So), has made a record that reflects the artist that--against some heavy odds--she's become. Wild Hope, co-written with the cred-conferring team of Rachael Yamagata, Lori McKenna, and the Weepies, should earn her a spot on adult-alternative radio alongside format regulars Dar Williams, Sarah McLachlan, and Jonatha Brooke. Its songs, like the achy "Gardenia," sung over a gently plunked piano, aim at confession and clarity: "I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor," the chorus reminds a vacant-eyed lover. Earlier, on first single "Extraordinary," Moore pours her rich, country-rubbed, Anna Nalick-like vocals into self-scrutiny and renewal: "I was a starling, nobody's darling/Now I'm ready to be extraordinary," she sings. Talent will be Moore's ticket to the transformation she's going for--no wild hoping necessary. --Tammy La Gorce More Mandy Moore  The Best of Mandy Moore |  Coverage |  Mandy Moore |  I Wanna Be with You | Mandy Moore Photos Singer, Mandy Moore will release her new, highly anticipated album, Wild Hope, on June 19. Recorded at Allaire Studios in Woodstock, NY, Wild Hope epitomizes a labor of love and showcases Moore's foray into songwriting. In collaboration with a slew of critically acclaimed singer-songwriters such as Rachael Yamagata, The Weepies, Lori McKenna, among others, the result of this two year endeavor is an organic, folk album with pop sensibilities boasting beautifully constructed melodies, compelling vocals and sophisticated lyrical content.
