Customer Reviews:
Funky, Fun and Fabulous.......2006-05-18
Anne is equally amazing in concert and on produced media. Her voice is as haunting as it is angelic. Each album is a touch better than the one before and I will continue to buy each and every one of them! I just got an iPod and in a collection of hundreds of CDs, hers were the FIRST ones I downloaded!
Beautiful and unusual........2005-06-20
I first came across Anne Heaton on garageband.com. Out of several songs from unsigned bands I reviewed there Anne's was one of only a bout a dozen that really stood out. I downloaded her MP3s, Black Notebook and Spinning and kept them on my playlist for a year or 2 before hearing that she'd been signed, at which point I went on to iTunes, found her (surprisingly) featured there and downloaded her album.
I was not disappointed.
Anne's piano playing background and influences in both rock, jazz and latin music, give her an ability to write songs and phrase her vocals in ways that sound simple but leave multiple layers to be unwrapped so they can be enjoyed over and over again. She knows how to start a song to capture your attention, how to end a song so that you know it's over and how to arrange a song so that it speaks to you.
She has an unusual voice, a sort of combined New York and Chicago accent, which might grate on some people's nerves. It's certainly very distinctive. There's plusses and minuses to that. She also has a very unusual and very rhythmic vocal style which seems to insert extra syllables into words the way the Red Hot Chilli Peppers used to.
The stylistixc odditties may be hooks to draw you in or they may become grating. The jury's still out on that, but so far after years of listening to it I still love this album and will be buying her second.
The Real Deal.......2004-02-16
Anne Heaton combines supberb musicanship with thoughtful and compelling lyrics to make one of the more interesting singer/songwriter albums in recent years.
She tours regularly and her new songs are even stronger -- commercially and artistically -- than those on "Black Notebook". This is an artist to watch.
I, for one, like it. A lot........2004-01-20
I don't understand why there aren't any reviews of this album yet, so I figure I'll write one.
I first came across this album in a music store, on one of those listening station thingys. Now, I like being exposed to new music, but for some reason the music at most listening stations doesn't usually make a big impression on me.
This album was different, though--firstly, her voice struck me as very unique. I don't really know how describe musical things in words very well, but it was deep and soothing; I loved the intonation of her words, the rhythm of her sentences.
The music itself I liked, too. I don't know anything about music theory, but it just felt very simple and elegant--not overcomplicated, not boring. It would move from these gentle mellow themes and arc into these soaring melodies that just sounded utterly beautiful. There are very few parts of this album that sound "boring" to me--although there are some, admittedly. Even still. I bought this album about 3 months ago, it's still one of my favorites, and I hope it stays that way.
