Carla Bruni - No Promises
February 19, 2008
NEW IN MUSIC: Italian-born/French-raised chanteuse Bruni has written a poignant record establishing her as an undeniably gorgeous new voice to American ears. With two previous records, heralded in her home of Europe, Bruni’s current creation is her first English language album to hit US shores via Downtown records. Carla’s fascination and appreciation of the language prompted her to make an album comprised of her favorite poems (from Emily Dickinson to WH Auden to William Butler Yeats), interpreting them into delicate and introspective songs. Profound, potent, and imbued with a delicate beauty.

Matt Costa - Unfamiliar Faces
January 23, 2008
When Matt Costa sat down to write what would become Unfamiliar Faces, the follow-up to his 2005 debut full-length Songs We Sing, the singer/songwriter took his most treasured belongings and put them on a shelf — then stared at them and just let the memories flow. “That way I could see everything that I loved,” he explains (the collection included his favorite books, a giant wooden pipe, and a box of old 45-speed records from the late 1950s). “I let my imagination wander. Regular life isn’t as exciting as an imaginary life.”

I discovered Landon Pigg’s “Falling In Love At The Coffee Shop” on Billboard’s Bubbling Under The Hot 100 chart. It is featured in a “A Diamond Is Forever” commercial, which you can see at the bottom of the post. I couldn’t find confirmation that this song is from an upcoming album, but it must be as it is not anything he has released to date. See what you think!
