Brandi Carlile - Review/Giveaway (11/7)

Who is Brandi Carlile?

Washington state-bred Brandi Carlile was inspired to pick up the guitar and learned to play after seeing the Indigo Girls in concert at Lilith Fair.  Her last album, The Story, debuted on Billboard's Top 200, peaking at #2 on iTunes and was named one of VH1's "You Oughta Know" artists in addition to having many of her songs featured on various episodes of "Grey's Anatomy".

If you like KT Tunstall, Indigo Girls, Missy Higgins and Rachael Yamagata then you will LOVE Brandi Carlile. 

She's toured with the likes of Ray Lamontagne, Dave Mathews Band and Sheryl Crow, who raved about Brandi's live performances, "She has the most amazing voice I may have ever heard. Soulful. Country. Perfect in every way and propelled by taste."

Extraordinary singer-songwriter Brandi is a One2One Network darling and critics are praising her artistry, Paste Magazine calls her the "best voice in indie rock" and her childhood idol Elton John duets with her on her new album, Give Up The Ghost being released by Columbia Records on October 6th.

My views on "Give Up the Ghost" released on October 6th:

Brandi Carlile has a strong voice to go with her strong lyrics. I love her song "Looking Out", some of the lyrics are the following:

I know the darkness pulls on you.
But it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looking in
You belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
Or the coming of the end,
Like your heart could break in two,
Someone loves you.

With her song "Oh Dear" she uses a bit higher pitch and its melody is sweet with lyrics that are straight to the point.

She has a folksy , rocky, feel to her music. I love that her lyrics are self-written, I believe all of the songs on Give Up the Ghost are amazing! I can't wait to hear more from this up and coming artist!
