KFOG's Local Scene 3 Artists' Press Room

 

Here's some press "buzz" about our Local Scene 3 artists . . . .

 

THE BITTERSWEETS

The Life You Always Wanted (Virt Records)

San Francisco's The Bittersweets are the latest signing coup for Virt Records, one of Seattle's most discerning labels. Singer Hannah Prater and guitarist/songwriter Chris Meyers have the kind of chemistry that country rock legends are made of. His sparse yet dynamic guitar arrangements are a perfect foil for her sunshine and sadness vocals. While Meyers' music relies on traditional forms, his lyrical content is intensely personal and contemporary. From sad ballads such as "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" to the raucously tough introspection of "Adam," these 11 songs provide a memorable launch for this promising band. (Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

"Corinne Bailey Rae is the next India.Arie, then San Francisco-based Nya Jade could be the next Corinne Bailey Rae. The Ghana-born, peripatetically raised daughter of a U.N. physician, who has a pre-med degree from Stanford, is equally influenced by coffeehouse folk and vocal jazz. Her cool singing voice recalls Sade and Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries. "One Pill," her beguiling critique of psychopharmacology from the independently released debut "My Denial," is getting Jade attention on BET, VH1, AOL Music and MP3.com, putting her in the running as the latest voice of multicultural bohemian self-empowerment." (Ann Powers, Los Angeles Times)
