Artist description Singer/songwriter Ellen Smith's fluid melodies and sonic prose are realized here by subtle solo guitar voicings through shouting orchestral dissonances that both mask and illustrate the unrest that lies beneath threaded, punctuated, often beautiful melodies. The collection of talented musicians and notable lack of machines she has brought together makes this a collection of songs intrinsically human, beautiful on the surface while passionate, lonely, angry, acquiescent, demanding inside.

Press Reviews Ellen Smith finds a happy medium between the Alterna-Pop of Tori Amos and the work of such Adult Contemporary icons as Laura Nyro and Melissa Manchester. Smith has a strong but subtle singing style and a knack for brightening up dark corners and for putting eccentric touches into otherwise mainstream music. Nick Dedina. Listen.com
