Album Details

As Musically Diverse as Anything You Will Hear in 2001, "Dear Frustrated Superstar" is a Perfect Showcase for NerinaÆs Incredible Songwriting, Instrumental and Vocal Abilities. 'my Album is Whatever You Think it is About.each Song Has a Story that Has Come from My Own Personal Experiences, but all Those Experiences Are More Or Less Universally Shared in Some Way Or Another, So Make of it What You Will,' Explains Nerina.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant..........2006-06-28

Catchy lyrics, tunes that you just can't shake off, this girl is a genius. I recommend Blood is Blood, Dear Frustrated Superstar and My Last Tango as these are my favourites...and go get her new album "Fires" even more of a masterpiece.

5 out of 5 stars beauty and intellect personified.......2005-10-26

I may be loosening my aim at objectiveness here, but I simply cannot help but love everything about this artist and her beautifully obscure work of art. It all began when I glanced at the amusing title while searching through the Amazon. I was reading reviews for another album when I was offered a recommendation for this album. After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase the album without hearing a single song. It turned out to be one of the best albums I have ever purchased; one that I still listen to, nearly two years later. Nerina Pallot is a classically trained pianist and university-educated musician who has a flair for melody. Her voice is both delicate and soothing, yet never fails to convey emotion and nuance. The variety of subject matter is impressive. Nerina never takes herself too seriously and prefers to show you how smart, witty, and talented she is, rather than to tell you. Her lyrics are never forceful and are crafted in a manner that incites contemplation and, often times, amusement. This is a delightful album.

5 out of 5 stars Nerina Pallot is fab!.......2005-05-17

I bought this album on advice from a family member and I have not loved any album more. Nerina has such a lovely voice. More amazing is that she writes, plays the piano and guitar in all songs and in all she is fab.
The irony of Dear Frustrated Super Star is not lost and I think that all of her lyrics are exceptionally clever and thoughtful.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2003-12-18

I was first turned on to the idea of listening to Nerina Pallot from all the customer lists that named her as an exceptional and unknown artist. As I'm always on the lookout for new music, I finally bit the bullet and placed an order to the UK over ebay to snag myself a copy. It took over a month to arrive (helped along by a friendly UK postal strike), but wow was it worth the wait. Nerina has a beautifully haunting voice, and she writes some of the best pop songs that I've heard in years.

Every song on this disc is of exceptional quality, but several are worthy of extra praise. The two songs released as singles from the album are "Alien" and "Patience", and both are quite catchy and fun. The ballad "If I Know You" starts the disc off with a bang, the bouncey tune "Watch Out Billie" is the closest Nerina ever comes to a mainstream pop song, and "Someday Soon" is simply beautiful. "Very Good Sir" is ironic and strangely catchy, and my personal favorite, "Blood is Blood", combines excellent lyrics with great music, which is pretty much like the entire rest of the album.

If you've ever considered checking out Nerina's music, I STRONGLY reccomend you do so. It can be a royal pain to get ahold of this disc, but the best ways to do so are from amazon.co.uk or ebay, and you can check out clips of her songs on several fans websites ... just run it through a search engine, and if you can find it the video for "Patience" is very cool. An excellent recording from an artist that should be better known, Nerina Pallot is one of the few artists that has left me longing for her next work.
