Such a fantastic song. Amazing, emotional, and powerful. I would love to see it catch on!

Week Of: February 12, 2007

She's Back
Brandi Carlile is the perfect example of an artist who has worked hard to get where she is today. Through constant touring over the past couple of years and radio airplay on several tracks from her debut (the self-titled album has sold over 70,000 copies), she has established a solid foundation and created a high level of anticipation for her followup.

Well, the wait is over as "The Story" -- produced by T Bone Burnett -- is set for release in the beginning of April. Our first taste is the title track, which reveals the growth of this young artist on many levels.

In support for the album, Carlile will be doing what she does best -- tour! Her next round of dates begins March 30 in her hometown of Seattle. Several television appearances are already in the works, including “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” and the "The CBS Saturday Early Show."

She's on the Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants Soundtrack (which also featured two NEW Chantal Kreviazuk songs).

She came out as a lesbian in 2003 as well. :O

I quite like this song. And it's going to grow on me more. It's awesome!

Debuted on the Hot 100 this week @ #75!

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Awesome!

I got her CD last week and it's quite good. I'm LOVING this song!!

I'm surprised it's doing that well on the Hot 100. How? Downloads?

I like how they make references to other lesbian musicians in the review. k.d. lang, Melissa Etheridge AND the Indigo Girls somehow. I got Melissa and Pink out of her CD though, vocal-wise.

[RobM88]

I can't stop playing this either... I got kd lang comparison-wise on a couple of songs, definitely. The Indigo Girls actually sing on "Cannonball" so that makes sense too! I just love "The Story"... debuts very high on my chart this week!
