Album Notes

Farah Alvin has been making a name for herself on Broadway and as a session singer for nearly a decade. "Someday" is her long awaited debut as a songwriter and solo performer. Drawing from a wide variety of lyrical and musical influences, Farah has created a unique sound, blending the worlds of folk, jazz, pop and blues with deeply expressive and ironically humorous lyrics.

"... Someday is full of lots and lots of everything I like in pop music: good tunes, smart lyrics, gorgeous singing, spare and striking arrangements.


"I especially like "Tragedienne," a song about two women whose friendship is on the rocks..."


"...If you've enjoyed the music of Erin McKeown, Jonatha Brooke, Allison Moorer, Luciana Souza, Dave's True Story, the Lascivious Biddies, or any of the other slightly off-center singer-songwriters and pop groups championed in the past by the like-minded proprietors of this blog, my guess is that Farah Alvin will suit you right down to the ground. Check her out. "

rapterous is her voice, definitely rapterous !!
author: b.
no, i can't rate the cd, haven't bought it as yet, but i can rate this gorgeous woman's voice ... rapterous, absolutely rapterous ! i just had the priviledge of seeing, and more importantly hearing miss alvin in the off-broadway show: "i love you because." now, while the premise of the show was a bit ridiculous and far fetched, it was more than worth it to discover the incredible talent, to say nothing of the incredible beauty, of farah. her voice is like that of a muse. oh my goodness, when she opens her mouth and the notes come out --- what a spectacular voice !! she should be, and i'm certain, will be, starring in a broadway production before we know it. what a talent! what a beauty! what a smile !

Moving, emotional, true - too bad she had to use the F-word!
author: elaine
This CD is mostly about loving and losing, and she has written some amazingly true thoughts. I loved the instrumentals. I really liked the song Breathing Each Other In, since it was about loving and not losing. In the song contradiction, if she had only said the times he messed up or screwed up instead of f----- up - whenever I get to that part I cringe because I know I'm going to hear the only bad thing I can say about this marvelous CD and her marvelous talent.

A voice not to be missed
author: Suzanne
Her voice is rapturous, her lyrics wrenching, her compositions elegant. I've heard her sing in person many times and I'm always electrified. And this amazing talent is my niece! What a fortunate aunt am I!
