CARLTON, VANESSA

Introducing the fabulous debut album by Vanessa Carlton, Be Not Nobody, an album that has been described as 'An intoxicating blend of earthy sensuality and emotional resonance'. When behind the piano, Carlton is hypnotic to watch. In the lush Be Not Nobody, which was produced by A&M Records President Ron Fair, she draws as much from classical music as from classic rock, infusing the sultry and the raw. Starting with the warm and upbeat vibe of A Thousand Miles, Carlton takes listeners on a kaleidoscopic journey through sweeping, waltz-like passages (Ordinary Day), irresistible pop cuts (Pretty Baby), beautifully orchestrated meditations (Twilight) and sharp slices of amp joy intensity (Unsung). Listeners will also be pleasantly surprised by her dark version of the Rolling Stones classic, Paint It Black. Rolling Stone magazine named Carlton one of the "Top 10 Artists To Watch in 2002." Calling her "a more pop-oriented Fiona Apple," the magazine praised Carlton's "serious formal skills at the keyboard," as well as her ability to keep her songs "busy with classical flourishes, rich voicings and harmonies reminiscent of Tori Amos." A phenomenon in the making.
