Charlotte Martin - Darkest Hour (EP)
You'd think these were unreleased Tori Amos songs from 1991 if you heard them without knowing who it was singing. So fucking good!
HEY! I just discovered her today! She's mine, I tell you! MINE!!
Um, all kidding aside. I heard the samples and saw the 2 videos on her website and was very interested! My favorite Tori is Little Earthquakes (you know, before the lyrics descended into nonsense, and she had some concern for making pretty songs without a lot of useless extra instruments.) and it was everything that I liked about LE - Girl with good voice: check. Piano: check. Sad songs included: check.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate it?
10!! Easy! Seriously. I have all four of her releases right now and they're all excellent! It's been a few years since a female vocalist really did it for me. I think Emm Gryner was the last female artist that really impressed me, that was like 3 years ago.
Charlotte Martin is so damn good! I first got her In Parenthesis EP for $2, I love used record stores. Now I have a new favorite artist! =) So yeah, a 10, definitely worth the money. OK, a 9.8 because her Test-Drive Songs CD comes with no back artwork! Hahaha.
