"exquisitely etched songs"

"captivating, uplifting, consuming"
Chris Barnes/The Brunswickan. Fredericton

"sheer brilliance!"
Sydney Morning Herald
Toronto singer/songwriter, Andrea Florian has been writing and performing for the last 10 years. Picture This is her 4th full length album to date.Produced by the acclaimed John Switzer (Jane Siberry), Picture This was a labour of love that was in the works for three years. Florian's best work yet, the record is a natural progression of her trademark folk-pop sound and honest poetic lyricism. Featuring collaborations with local guitarist Tracy Jones and several high-profile musical guests (including Big Sugar's Al Cross & Kurt Swinghammer), Picture This is the latest chapter in a remarkable musical career.

With three other well-received albums on her own Bathsheba Records label, Florian is the epitome of the hardworking indie artist, booking her own tours to Australia (where she appeared on the national music channel), the U.K., and Europe, as well as frequent trips to the U.S. Her enthusiasm and perseverance even landed her a coveted full-page feature in Billboard Magazine, which wrote, "Florian's career is heating up."

A three year hiatus from the music scene & the grind of touring has enabled Florian to recharge her musical batteries. She has written enough new songs for several more albums, including many works that revisit her first love... the piano.

Look out for a sampling of Andrea's new songs to be released this year. (digital only)

  • Great Music By Great Musicians!
    author: Stella

    The songwriting on this cd is great, but what really pushes it to its apex is the very impressive musicianshop of all the players involved! The drumming on She said is inspiring! and the rest of the band sounds great. A strong vocalist with a band ready for the task.

  • Unbelievable!
    author: Victoria

    From the first song, you know that Andrea Florian hits the ground running with this CD. Although "More than I am" is one of my favourite tracks, it must also be heard LIVE - trust me! This CD is packed with incredible songs that leave you wanting more and we won't have to wait much longer. Andrea Florian's latest CD will be released in April 2003!

  • A must-have for anyone who loves strong lyrics and a killer voice!
    author: Jennifer Brayton

    This CD has been playing non-stop since I bought it at one of Ms. Florian's live shows. She is an incredibly skilled wordsmith, choosing effective and powerful words to convey her ideas, thoughts and emotions. As a female artist, Ms. Florian's words convey the beauty and insanity of living life as a strong woman in modern times. For me, "Counting the STaRs" authentically speaks to the ways in which men and women sometimes have problems communicating, and bridging their differences. As a Women's Studies instructor, "FeMiniSt" is a stunning song, one that successfully challenges the stereotypes society holds about feminism and feminists. I'll be using that as a musical reference in my classes in the future! Outside of the lyrics, Ms. Florian plays a mean guitar, and her piano playing is outstanding - I love her work on 'in HISTORY"!! The talent she has is impressive,and I applaud her for for all her hard work doing it on her own as a writer, performer, and co-producer. Pick this CD up, you won't regret it!

  • Great players supporting great songs
    author: George

    Really enjoyed the musicianship on this release. Have seen her band live a number of times, and they can play there butts off. Kudos to all involved, especially the drums

  • She Says it Best
    author: Krystle M.

    Honestly, what more could you want? With this CD - andrea pulls you in, and makes you feel like you want nothing more than to talk to her about the scars on her knees...her music allows you to visit places that make so much sense yet there are no boundaries to her, or to her talent. She makes a stage and a studio what they are...

  • somehurrygood is an absolute musical masterpiece- flawless and amazing!
    author: Ashleigh

  • Breaking the Singer-Songwriter Mold
    author: Roger

    Somehurrygood, Canadian singer-songwriter Andrea Florian’s third release, is an eclectic mix of musical styles wrapped around some very intriguing and personal lyrics. Styles range from mellow (Lullaby) and pop-rock (She Said) to techno (Counting the Stars) and funky (Point of View). Andrea’s beautiful and expressive voice is supported by her own guitar and piano work along with a group of very talented backup musicians. I highly recommend this CD for those looking for a great listening experience.

  • An Aural Delight!
    author: Chris

    A must have for folk rock lovers. Not very often does one find music that can truly move the soul. Well worth a listen.
