Free Music Notes for Harmonium
Free Music Review: Vanessa Carlton
Hit: 4 Stars
"Harmonium" is obviously a great name for this album.It shows such a difference from her debut album "Be Not Nobody".Music ranges from 'Private Radio',which has a poppy,Hilary Duff like sound about dancing in the moonlight with some sort of fling,to "Who's To Say" which offers a deeper message, of falling in love at too young of an age.The best songs on this album are without a doubt "C'est Lae Vie"("This Is Life"),"The Wreckage",and "Papa".Whether you like Avril Lavigne or Maroon 5 this album is for you.Free Music Review: One of the best albums i own
Hit: 5 Stars
How anybody can call this review bland i do not know. It is a fantastic album. The first six tracks (maybe excluding Annie) are amazing. Her music is alot more mature than her first album, the piano in Afterglow gives me goosebumps and when the drum beat kicks in on the second verse, i don't need to explain how much i like it. To hear that the album had bombed in the US upsets me really because its miles better music than all that rap/hip hop rubbish that seems to get to the top of the charts. It has not been released in the UK yet and it deserves to be a massive hit but it propably won't because people seem to buy rubbish these days....50cent....oh yeh he's fantastic, he can sing and has rhythm...NOT!!
The best songs on this album have to be White Houses and Private Radio, Who's to say comes a close second.
Be not Nobody and Harmonium are two of my fav albums, you will not be let down if you buy this. Vannessa is a real talent. For all you people who say she can't sing well you must be one of those who listens to 50cent!!!!!!!!!!
Free Music Review: Underated (US) & unavailable (UK)
Hit: 4 Stars
It would seem from the reviews that `Harmonium' hasn't gone down too well in the US. Lucky you to be able to decide - It hasn't even been released here yet and the date just gets pushed back and back!
I bought my copy from Canada months ago and I have to say I really like it; it grows on you insidiously, (it was the same with her first album 'Be Not Nobody' and single 'A Thousand Miles' was a big hit here). Sure she's quirky, with an individual voice, but we like that.
So much UK music never really makes it in the US (and vice versa), simply because it never gets played, but with the internet there is really no any excuse not to explore more widely. This is one of those albums!
When it finally has a release over here the UK version of `Harmonium' promises a bonus cover version of 'Where The Streets Have No Name'. That should be interesting! Let's put it this way - U2 (yes, I know that they are from Ireland and that it is not part of the UK) don't have a reputation for licensing one of their songs to any wannabe that asks to do so. It is so refreshing to hear someone that has such unwavering faith in her music. Will her current record label stick with it I wonder? If not then I'm sure she will soon find another.

Free Music Review: If I could, I'd give her negative stars
Hit: 1 Stars
There must be an explanation for why Time Warner Cable chose her to do their commercials, but I just don't get it. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I've seen drunk karaoke singers sing better than her. She is everything that is wrong with the music business today - record companies will promote these no-talent artists in advertising, pay off Clear Channel (who owns 90+% of all radio stations) to spin their records, and true artists are left behind. I bet the hair on Mick Jagger's neck stands up when he thinks of his classic tune being butchered by this nobody in those annoying commercials.Free Music Review: Never Make It On Idol
Hit: 1 Stars
Who is Vanessa Carlton? How did she ever get a Time Warner commercial? This commercial plays so often that everytime I hear that voice my skin crawls...so basically, everytime I turn on my television.
Had she been on American Idol she would have been voted off by now...who do I call to get this commercial voted off TV? Can you imagine Simon having a critique on this vocalist? William Hung, you don't have to worry about your career...Vanessa is no threat to you.
Of course, she is the one TV and I am not...
