Free Music Notes for Hello...x
Free Music Review: Sitting by the Sea Shore Soaking up the Summer Breeze
Hit: 4 Stars
Being what may have been one of about only a hundred people who picked up the debut album from Tristan Prettyman, I found a breezy summertime disk that was a great listen as long as the weather was as sunny of what was found on the album. And since sadly not many checked out her first album, her first single off the follow up Hello...x follows the template created for that first album down to the chorus repeating the title three time, this time being Madly instead of Love, Love, Love. But Madly isn't too derivative thanks to some well placed hand claps and a sing along chorus that should replace Bubbly in the overplayed category on the radio sometime soon.
But it is elsewhere on the album where her growth shines through. The album does starts out with the sunny California fireside bounce of Hello and Echo, but it quickly takes a big turn to the Deep South with the on the front porch blues of California Girl that morphs when an eclectic guitar takes the song somewhere else near the end. Also fitting the blues genre is Just a Little Bit which ends with Tristan singing over a bunch of guys hoping to bring her down to her knees. Handshake could have had the most infectious bassline of the year if it weren't for Death Cab for Cutie's I Will Possess Your Heart and can have even the most uncoordinated guys try to break out a dance move or two.
The high point of Hello...x is War Out of Peace a driving song which that may be best heard when your are driving yourself along a country road with the windows rolled down with nothing sounding you but rows of corn on a nice summer day. Then there is Don't Work Yourself Up, a soft song that slowly evolves into a wall of sound with multiple vocals overlapping to great effect. So be sure to pick up Hello...x this summer when you are heading down to the beach or just the local swimming pool as it will get you ready for the season.

If you haven't fallen in love with Tristan's voice yet you must get this cd. Her Fresh sound and addicting lyrics is perfect for a relaxing day at the beach or a drive down the coast. She is an artist we will be seeing many years down the road. So why not start your Tristan Collection today. and be sure to grab her debut album Twenty Three.Free Music Review: "Love, love, love" her sound

Glad to see Tristan finally getting the attention she deserves. I met her on the photo shoot for San Diego Magazine back in '03 and have been a huge fan ever since. If only I knew then that I'd be a huge fan now! I probably would have gotten all nervous though and said something stupid. Hopefully a stronger spotlight won't change her originality.Free Music Review: Sigh....I am just getting older...........

I can't remember how I came to find out about Tristan, but I have been looking forward to this album. I have been reading on her fan site and I have to say her fans are very devoted. I thought I would just love this album to death. I do enjoy this album and give it five stars easily. I love her voice and her lyrics are wonderful and insightful, but I think I am just in a different season of life than her. I will be listening to other albums that are just as wonderful but have different content that I can relate to better. I have only listened to this album now acouple of times, and I have to see that I am on my third or fourth spin now and I am liking it more and more. It is confusing...I will give it five stars because I know that if I was younger in my twenties that I would be a devoted fan. I love the music and her voice. If you like her you will also love Brett Dennen and probably Jack Johnson. I am just getting to old I guess....sigh....you go Tristan....good luck...!!!!!! I will keep listening. What I have to give kutos to bigtime is that I can listen to this album with my children present. i i don't have to worry about words. That is very important to me!! Thanks Tristan!!!!Free Music Review: Not One Bad Track!

I'm not one that usually writes a review, mainly because I'm just not all that good at it. But this album deserves that I just give it a shout out. My first listen thru was like, there is not a bad tune on this album. Second time thru was even better.
Favorites thus far Blindfold, War Out of Peace and You Got Me.
This is a definite buy if you are a Tristan fan.
