Album Notes

India Taylor's sound combines the passion of early Heart, the silky sophistication of Natalie Cole, and the enduring wit of Rickie Lee Jones. She does not seek to be trendy, but timeless.

Favorite songs to sample from "Mosaic:"

"Frogs in Princes' Clothing"- If you’ve ever kissed a guy you thought was your Handsome Prince but he turned into a frog, (or Guys -- if you once kissed a beautiful girl, thinking you’d found a real Princess, but she turned into a frog), then this jazzy number is for you. This favorite song of audiences describes India's dates with one fancy amphibian named "Jack," who wore a top-hat and had a cool lakefront pad and a turtle shell yacht.

"You’ve Got Me Goin’ Crazy" - A stirring, sensuous Santana-esque soundscape, complete with congas, invites you to the romantic dance of love. "My heart is like the sky, and I feel like I can fly ..."

"Emerald Eyed Cat" - India quit ballet lessons when she was six so she could watch the Batman series on afternoon TV, mostly because she liked the Cat Woman episodes. Fun & fast-paced, this song sounds like early Heart, with a vivacious melody and stunning vocal range!

"Gypsy’s Heart" is a moonlit escape out the window of your dreams, for times when your spirit is restless.

"Thief in the Night" is a humorous plot about puttin' on your shades, pullin' your hat down low, and bustin' that thief who stole your heart (since the cops won't arrest 'em). This is finger-snapping jazz!

"Like Texas Weather" is an award-winning, stormy account of the seasons of a relationship, introduced by a ghostly "coyote howl" from an electric guitar. "She can't save her love for another rainy day ..."

India was selected for an Emerging Artist grant by Jim Beam Bourbon and has received other songwriting awards. She is based in Austin, Texas.
