Emmy Rossum ... lush vocal landscapes!

We (well some of us) loved her or at least heard her potential on the "Phantom" movie soundtrack.

Her debut record is out, called "Inside Out." I have spent the last 40 minutes listening to it... and it is positively enchanting and utterly unique. She has such a charming quality to her voice, and the compositions and arrangements take full advantage of this. Think Enya, Clannad, Celtic Woman, Manhattan Transfer, Debussey, Dulce Pontes, Karen Carpenter, and Anuna, all rolled into one. Definitely the kind of music to chill out to... think snow on the ground, cloudy day, sitting in a chair by a window, wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of coffee, looking out on a winter wonderland. That's what this music conjures in me. Like being in a bubble of warmth surrounded by a quiet and innocent cold. Spring contentedly slumbering.

You know me.. I'm not normally a gusher when it comes to new artists, but I felt this one was really worth a mention. Have a listen!! It's available on I-tunes, Yahoo!, and in stores.

Never heard of her before. I just checked out the three songs on MySpace.com - Emmy Rossum, and while the second and third didn't do much for me, the first one (Slow Me Down) gave me shivers.

I'm more getting Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" than the other influences. And it is nearly a cappella, which is a plus in my book.

A friend put me onto her cd but it didn't impress me.

To many synthesizers covering up for lack of vocal ability,...in the pop sense anyways.

I loved her in Phantom. I dont think what she has done on her album (thanks for the link) is bad, but at times she teetering on sounding too much like Enya. I will buy her album though.

It's a neat idea, but it sounds over-produced. The best work in this style is IMO done by Imogene Heap. Check out the tune "Hide and Seek"--the electronic aspects are foregrounded rather than being poorly hidden, the composition and arrangement are more interesting, and the lyrics are brilliant.

Although I like the album somewhat, I have to agree with ratbastid and say that all I could think of was Imogene Heap while listening to it. I even went as far as to say to one of my friends, "Rossums album is kind of Imogene Heap-lite"
