Yes, wherever else it may fall down, the WB does have a kickass music department for sure!

Anna Nalick is slightly folky singer/songwriter pop-rock. Which means you're all confused now right? LOL. The CD actually reminds me a tad of a mellower Jagged Little Pill (the original; ain't shelling out for the acoustic retread) in that her lyrics are literate with some complex patterns, mostly introspective and/or relationship-oriented with some edge. The melodies are where the pop aspect comes in as they are catchy songs but without the slick pop-type packaging - they have more of a folk sensibility in that respect. And her voice is slightly reminiscent of a more robust Norah Jones, imo. Lovely.

And instead of me blathering further, lol, this is my favourite song off the album: In the Rough by Anna Nalick

Anna's doing some opening acts for Rob Thomas's tour, which reminds me that I saw Beth Hart with him and you might like her as well. She's in the same sort of genre as Anna, folky rock, but she has one of those powerhouse smoker voices. Also, much much more bitter - like more on the You Oughtta Know end, lol. But sometimes that's fun. ;-)
