Album: Aimee Allen- A Little Happiness

Release Date: July 21, 2009
Info:

Aimee Allen is an American pop/rock singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, California Allen is proud that her album is free of production shortcuts, refreshingly simplified and eschewing the synthetic for the organic. Happiness is just as animated in its stories of heartbreak as its celebrations of getting over it, exemplified in both “Change in Weather” and “On Vacation.” Yet, there is an undercurrent of spiritual and social commentary throughout. “Calling the Maker” (which features one of the few samples on the album, taken from one of the first instances of recorded sound in the United States) is her plea for mercy on Judgment Day. Allen confronts organized religion while exposing her own naked fallibility in “God Talks,” and in “Save Me” (co-written with Linda Perry), implies that no one can change her but God.
The title of the record really says it all—on A Little Happiness, she courageously explores the reaches of elation and despondency, but never strays too far from the healthy, cautious optimism that defines her signature autobiographical storytelling. Allen’s strongest collection of songs to date honors the painful journey she took to create them. "I've made a lot of lyrically shocking and dark music in the past. But once you have a brush with death, things change."

I was listening to her whole album and I like it, not super amazing, but worth a listen. My favorite song on this album is La La Land so look out for that one when the CD is released July 21. In the mean time you can listen to three songs at her MySpace.
I like her style it's pretty neat but I'm not a huge fan of the lyrics, to me they're just not super amazing. You might end up really liking her so that's why I'm telling you about her. :D To each his own right? :)
