It's no wonder Lisa won Songwriter of the Year.  The words she writes actually have meaning.  They touch my heart with emotion:  One minute tears are streaming down my face listening to "Waiting," and the next minute I'm dancing upside-down with "Fred Astaire."  Looking forward to more wonderful songs from this truly original artist.  Way to go, Lisa!

I like this album a lot. Lisa has a really good voice, surprisingly mature and clearly well trained, but soulful, too. I like listening to her lyrics--these matter as much as the music, and she has some downright poetic lines. The combination of her voice and her piano playing is very effective, and she's got a great band behind her, that contribute a really nice, jazzy feel mostly, with definately some bluesy accents. She no doubt spent time arranging the tracks in a manner that would complement each other, and this contributes to the general effect. The cover art and photography round out a really, really nice "package" for this debut album. Thank you, Lisa!

The long-awaited debut album of Lisa Forkish! Previously known best for her role as music director of the a cappella group Divisi (highlighted in the new book "Pitch Perfect"), she is finally satisfying fans of her solo work with a full-length album.

With all original songs, the talented up-and-coming artist has put together a remarkable first album. A lyrical style that is sometimes folky, sometimes jazzy, the frequent comparison to Joni Mitchell is well deserved. This is a perfect addition to the music collection of all lovers of female singer/songwriters - and to lovers of music in general! 

She also has a great on-stage presence - if you ever have the opportunity, make sure to catch Lisa Forkish live.
