Okay, now on to the fun stuff! I was sent a download of the new CD by Brandi Carlile (who I had never actually heard of before) called Give up the Ghost to review. You might wonder how I can agree to review an artist I have never heard of... But I am such a lover of music I am willing to check out almost anything, even if I do end up hating it.
Which I didn't! The first time I listened to it I was thinking, "Hmmm, I guess this is pretty good. Kinda mellow and nice. I definitely don't hate it but would I actually go out and buy it?" But then the more I've listened to it the more I like it. It has really grown on me. I love her smoky mezzo voice, but I also like that she has a nice range. To me she is kind of a cross between Colbie Callait and Norah Jones. My favorite songs were Before it Breaks and If There was No You.

Okay, now go check out her site and buy it for yoursef!
OR I have a free download of this CD to give to one of you!
