BIOGRAPHY

Fall For Beauty, the new album from Lynn Miles, is set to be release on January 25, 2011 in the United States.

Lynn Miles is one of North America’s most acclaimed singer-songwriters. Here are some highlights of what the press is saying about her new album:


“ Miles’ take on melancholy comes in every shade of conceivable blue the main focus being ‘lost love’. Miles’ studiously crafted lyrics always possess a ‘been there, done that’ authenticity…Having reviewed albums for some three decades, in any one year only a handful of albums truly deserve the maximum accolade of five stars. If everything were fair in this flawed human existence, Fall For Beauty would (at least) be a six.” Maverick

“Lynn Miles' eighth studio album, brimming with 10 of her own creations, is seductive for the very reason that this genre of music exists in the first place: sheer emotional honesty, unbridled by pretension or irony.”- The Toronto Star

“There can be no doubt that Miles is at her best delivering straightforward, unadorned country-folk in the tradition of Nanci Griffith or Mary Chapin Carpenter.” - Americana-UK.com

"Canadian songbird Lynn Miles sings lusciously on her fifth country-tinged, folk-pop album (Love Sweet Love). Smart lyrics abound as she expounds on love lost and gained, sketched with dark hues and rising tempos.” - Billboard Magazine

“ ‘Fall For Beauty’ is a classy album from a classy performer. It’s as simple as that.” - BluesBunny.com

Lynn is also gearing up to hit some shows in the States, so don’t miss your chance to see her perform.

Q&A: Bright Eyes

After a brief stint as a solo artist, Conor Oberst has revived Bright Eyes to release The People’s Key, an album that deals with the nature of time, spirituality, and human existence. Also, it’s Rastafarian friendly.

Alison Krauss: The Golden Girl

These days, many Nashville-based artists co-write their own material with big name songwriters so they can share a piece of the royalty pie in times of declining CD sales. But the truth is, a lot of those co-writes can’t match the work of people whose calling in life is to create high-quality songs above anything else.
