Megan Slankard - November 2004
On first listen to "Freaky little Story" you think that you have been revisited by Alanis Morrisette's "jagged Little Pill". Is Megan Slankard just another Alanis Morrisette. With a careful listen one will note that there is more to this younger singer-songwriter than mere imitation. Slankard possess a range beyond her years. The fact that she can pull off perfectly pitched high notes that sound ethereal and dip low into a earthy, smoldering growl indicates a level of versatility that will take her father than her peers.
Slankard's vocal risk-taking pushes her out of both the singer/songwriter and pop-star formulas, and showcases her own talent.
"... Slankard's newest album reinforces her progress so far and promises
a long-standing career in music for a talented young singer."
The light acoustic driven song "Too Bad You", opens the album with an indie sound that hints at what's to come. Slankard's bluesy voice acts like a sponge and that can soak up and squeeze out her deepest emotions. A jazz sound infuses Slankard's singing technique even leading her into scatting at times.
Slankard's newest album promises a longstanding career in music for this young singer. |
