a Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
This is Vanessa's second CD, her first being 1999's "Her House of Sin" .
I knew I'd like this CD as soon as I saw the great CD package and
the whimsical name, "Barnacles of Joy". It made me smile and so does the
music.
Vanessa has a gift for songwriting that is reminiscent of Aimee Mann. The
songs are clever, have interesting melodies and are performed very well.
I really admire her clever lyrical style.
In the pretty, "Wait for Me" she sings:
"You've got apples in your cheeks
and berries for your lips
and I want to bake you up
save you for a rainy day." On "For Awhile" she says:
It might surprise you to know
That I have been looking for you
But I've got a really short attention span
So if I were you I'd make your move" The English isn't perfect, but it's pure and honest, as are all the songs on
this recording.
