notes

A young woman of fierce independence and courage, Edie is a force to be reckoned with. She has taken on much responsibility and many risks for a woman of her youth, and now her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter is being realized as she plunges headlong into creative waters.

She left home at age eighteen to live and work in Italy, Paris, and Australia before finally coming to Los Angeles to relentlessly pursue her music career. In fact, she gives credit to her travels for her take-no-prisoners, driven approach to her art. She strongly feels that only through living freely and without barriers has she been able to give rise to her creative self. At the same time, Edie has an intense love and respect for her family. She tells of how her family always respected her as an individual as well as a daughter and thanks them for the self-confidence that this instilled in her. Edie craves fluidity and freedom but still cherishes her stable roots.

This freedom and fluidity is reflected in her writing and her performances. The moments she spends on stage are her most cherished. Edie throws herself wholeheartedly into her performances, holding nothing back and giving herself over entirely to her music and to the audience. She has an uncanny way of bringing tangible passion and depth to a song and always captures the room. Edie is equally dedicated to her songwriting, and brings to it unsurpassed enthusiasm and love. Her thoughts on writing and performing music are simple and reflect her intense focus on her art: "There is nothing else in the world. If I'm doing it right, everything else simply ceases to exist."

  • "Shades" is an exercise in wakefulness!
    author: djmoos

    Thoreau once said, “To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face?” "Shades" is an exercise in wakefulness! Edie explores music and poetry where others may only find sound. You will come away from the experience more aware, more in tune, more alive!

  • Incredible.
    author: SillyGothRadio

    This CD just shows the power, passion, and fantastic voice that edie has!

  • A big, beautiful surprise!
    author: Sean Gardner

    You hear a lot of influences, but throughout it all there's a high level of emotional intensity and intelligence, captivating melodies, and a beautiful voice. Can't wait to hear Nu.

  • Very interesting
    author: shannon roberts

    What I like about the songs on this record is that just when you think you have the song figured out she takes it to a new place with her vocals. A very interesting listen.

  • a little magic with my tea please
    author: miss sherri

    a certain way through only music we find to make one feel. you have found it on many levels. good luck in your ventures.

  • superb every song is a favourite can't wait for next album
    author: tb

    slightly kate bush, slightly portishead, slightly gothic all my favourite artists rolled into one performer enough said.

  • excellent album, unique and can be mainstream at times
    author: H8nXTC

    These songs will impress you and quickly get into your head, humming and singing the lyrics without realizing it. The first 3 songs and the last (Shades) are the strongest. Lyrics are poetic. See her perform live if you get the chance.

  • A dramatic, intense and intelligent CD
    author: Brandon Shea

    The voice alone is worth it. She brings such power to her music. Intelligent lyrics, dramatic melodies and extreme depth. I highly recommend this CD.

  • Astonishing
    author: Anne from Belgium

    I never expected this album to be sooooooo great. The melodies are beautiful and powerful. Weird sometimes. The voice is amazing, and always unpredictable. The way it goes up and down and adapt itself to the mood of each song... Some songs make me thing of Sinéad O'Connor's first album : The Lion And The Cobra, which I loooooooove. Thanks for making such a great music!!

  • Sound like a angel
    author: MeNoPhOn

    If one day I had a chance to meet a Angel, I wish that Angel have your beautiful voices...
