Free Music Review: The Beautiful Ballads and the Dark Sunsets
Hit: 4 Stars
While it is earfood listening to the beautifully strung "Pretty Baby" , I am not too fond of dark depressing tracks such as "Paint it Black" and "Prince." Carlton's voice, however.. is suited for both gothic and inspirational. She finds a compromise in the last song, Twilight. This song, in and of itself, has some of the most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard... but the creepy tone of the song is rather depressing. Carlton has a beautiful voice, no doubt about it. And she is a prodigious piano player. She must do wonderful in the adult contemporary category. Although her second CD flopped, it is perhaps because there was much dissapointment in the other tracks on this album.. besides the buttered up singles which were released. All in all, a very good album. Free Music Review: Shove it back in the horse! (Part II)
Hit: 1 Stars
Here's the story:
You get some training as a ballerina, except you can't cut the mustard, and any hope that you had for a show biz career in ballet dies. You parents know somebody in the music business. They get you an interview and pull some strings. You get some training on piano and write some very rudimentary songs about female angst. Somebody at some record company thinks it'll sell so they put a lot of money into production and promote the hell out of it. Even the title "Be not Nobody" (Which some A&R guy probably thought up) smacks of teenage naivette.
Anyway, the CD sells.
A year later, you put out another CD, and it bombs, big time. It seems like some big talent was in all actuality, a blow out.
What happened?!!!

While Vanessa Carltons second album flopped, this album flourished and for good reasons. She released the right singles and got support from the media. This album is more light hearted than her second and i find it easier to listen to.
Ordinary Day-5/5 this song is fabulous. If you turn the volume up louder you can really appreciate the piano in it. And for those of you who dont like her vocals on this song: You try to sing it. the chourus is a very difficult melody
Unsung-4.5/5 this song is really upbeat, sort of rocky. a nice change after ordinary day
A thousand miles- 5/5 her trademark song. a great tune and great piano, but of course if youve heard it a million times on the radio itll get old fast
Rinse- 5/5 this is a really fabulous slow song. it grows on you
Sway- 3/5 really repetative, gets old kind of fast
Paradise- 4/5 a really lovely song, but its also kind of sad. Again this one will grow on you
Prince- 4/5 This one is cool. Definitely a sudden change after the slow soft tempo of paradise
Paint it black- 5/5 I love this one. It reminds me of her second album with its gothic elements. But its so great with its differnt tempos (the only cover song on the album)
Wanted- 4/5 this is where you can tell her vocals need to be improved- near the end of the song its quite painful. But other than that this is a great song thats really well written
TWILIGHT- BEYOND5/5- THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON THE ENTIRE ALBUM, MAYBE EVEN THE BEST SHES EVER WRITTEN. THE LYRICS ARE UPLIFTING AND INSPIRING. THIS CAN RELATE, NOT ONLY TO A BOYFRIEND BUT ALSO TO A MOVING EXPERIENCE IN YOUR LIFE OR MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED YOU. NEVER, EVER SKIP THIS SONG. my only complaint is that she gives the strongest performance of the chorus too early in the song- the second time.
This album is really great. if you like ordinary day and a thousand miles you will NOT be disappointed.
*as you can probably tell, i think the purchase of the album is worth it just to get twilight
I reccommend Be not nobody instead of Harmonium, if you like vanessas pop tunes and positive messages
<3 a soft rock/pop music fan
Free Music Review: Paradise, Vanessa Carlton
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to Vanessa Carlton's debut album for the first time was one of the most memorable moments of my life. This is the type of album that is so good that you remember who you were with what you were doing, etc. the first time you heard it. I saw the traveling piano video for 1,000 Miles on MTV in the middle of the night and was hooked. Vanessa dares to be different, she has a gothic feel to her, she seems so in tune, so connected and plugged in to the spirit world. The song, Paradise is wonderful, so sad and beautiful. Fans of those who dare to be different will find Carlton's latest work extraordinary. Recommended for fans of songwriters such as Amos, Apple, Fugate, and Lavigne.
