No matter how you slice it, 14 years is a long time between albums, especially if it\u2019s your debut and second release.<\/p>\n
A Girl Called Eddy (Erin Moran) has been active on the concert stage and backing other artists, which has led to the title of her new release, Been Around.<\/em> She is basically one of those singers you can picture performing in a lounge late at night. Her voice has been compared to Karen Carpenter and Carole King, but when I hear her sing, I think of Astrud Gilberto of \u201cGirl From Ipanema\u201d fame.<\/p>\n There is a preciseness to her music, plus an attention to detail. She wrote or co-wrote all the tracks and plays piano on many of the songs, but she is above all a vocalist. Her tone has a sultry quality that is also crystal clear, which adds textures and a brightness to the performances.<\/p>\n Her new material is less dark and melancholy than her previous release. \u201cCome To The Palisades\u201d is a wonderfully nostalgic tune of amusement parks, summer, being a teenager, and days that cannot be recovered. This song is a classic example of her songwriting ability as she wastes few words telling her story. She channels her inner Chrissie Hyde on \u201cSomeone\u2019s Gonna Break Your Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCharity Shop Window\u201d is another nostalgic piece that she co-wrote with Paul Williams. She fills in the simple melodies with a small string section. The most sophisticated track is the title song as she explores her inner self, complete with a horn section and a number of background singers.<\/p>\n A Girl Called Eddy has now issued two well-crafted albums that are both refined and appealing. Hopefully it will not be another 14 years until her next release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":33944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[10454],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-45772","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-a-girl-called-eddy","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45772"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45772"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
