Album Description
Lisa Miskovsky's first Canadian release, Fallingwater , was released in Sweden first on October 22nd, 2003. It entered the Swedish album charts at no. 1. The first single from the album entitled, "Lady Stardust" spent 8 consecutive weeks at the first place of the influential Tracks Chart. The songs retain the essence of her original material and establish "Fallingwater" as a progression that is quite simply, more of Miskovsky. Lisa sung the lead and the backing vocals and even arranged the majority of those sections. She also played acoustic and electric guitar, the Piano, organ and the Fender Rhodes on many of the tracks. Universal. 2005.

Falling Water Falls Hard.......2004-10-14
The first song I ever heard from LM was on a Hard Rock Hotel compilation cd ("Driving One of Your Cars"). That song is what prompted me to by her first cd, which is excellent BTW. Needless to say, I was very excited to learn she had a follow up cd. After listening to Falling Water, I have concluded it is the second worse cd I own. I was completely disappointed and considered asking for a refund. Unless you're Frank Zappa, I think an artist's fan base expects to hear some continuity of style and songwriting with a development of maturity over time. If you heard the two albums back to back, you would not even know it was the same artist. The first album has alot of drive with interesting twists in arrangements and rhythms with the aggressiveness of say, maybe, Alanis Morisette (Jagged Little Pill). Falling Water sounds mostly like a country Fleetwood Mac. It sounds like Lisa was trying to go for a more mature growth (which I feel she falls VERY short) and abandons the style of the first album. It really depends on your musical tastes, I guess. If you loved the first cd, considered yourself forewarned. It's my own fault, I didn't listen to the sound clips ahead of time...I suggest that you do BEFORE buying this cd. Sorry Lisa fans, I'm just telling it the way I hear it. If you like it, great, have fun.
The future of Swedish music.......2004-09-05
I spent last year (2003- 2004) in Sweden studying at a university. This was the one album everyone was excited about, and they had every reason to be. Joakim Berg, the lead singer of Kent helped to write and produce this album with Miskovsky. You can tell because he uses his talent well on this project. I also had a chance to see Miskovsky live in Goteborg Sweden in December 2003, an awesome show. I am hoping her record company will see some potential for her in the North American market.
