Theresa Miele is a singer/songwriter with a uniquely introspective style. Having grown up in a small Midwestern town, she has lived on both coasts and many places in between. A philosopher and a curious observer, Theresa weaves her diverse life experiences into a crazy quilt of musical jaunts. Unwilling to limit herself to a singular genre, Miele goes from sensitive melodic rock to harder edged techno pop and back again-- with an occasional detour into folk and alt country.
When asked about the inspiration for her music, Theresa writes:
"I love a song that has something to say, and if it can be said with a hauntingly beautiful melody, so much the better. My tunes have been called disarmingly straightforward, and every attempt is made to keep contrived angst at a minimum. All woe and suffering gleaned from the lyrical content is 99% authentic. On the other hand, any wit or humor ascertained is strictly synthetic."

Great album!

Theresa Miele has almost as many ways to sing about the pain of unsuccesful and
trying relationships as she does various musical genres and traditions within which to set
them. Moody Moody Guitar Boy uses a slow, spoken word intermezzo in the middle of a
metal rocking tune about, well, a moody guitar boy. Both the title track and Too Emotional
are beautiful acoustic songs that hit back hard at inconsiderate oafs. Another great treat here
is a version of Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love with Miele's lone voice where we're used to
hearing Palmer's multi-tracked vocals. In my opinion Miele is an artist from whom we can expect
big things in the future.

Diverse and insightful !

Theresa's songs criss-cross genres from roots rock to punky pop while dabbling in alt country, jazz and techno beats. Miele was raised in the Midwest and has lived in a variety other locations. She draws on her diverse experiences to pens songs about relationships and observations. Theresa writes insightful, visual lyrics. Miele's creative arrangements are handled well by first-class musicians and clean production. Miele has a soulful voice that ranges from low and sexy to high and melodic. 'Metrosexual' is a witty description of a good-looking metrosexual sung in a breathy, silky voice blended over a seductive groove. 'Moody Moody Guitar Boy' has an aggressive drum beat driving a snappy rhythm and rhyme. The song, like the boy is moody, brimming with sizzling guitar leads throughout and wild sound effects (bells). Theresa vocals are stunning on this rocking rap. It is followed by the title track that demonstrates Miele's vocal power accented by mellow instrumentation. Theresa Miele and her band have crafted a quality CD with songs that are intellectually challenging but fun in tempos, textures and tones!
