Amelia’s Dream

Love Tattoo

Ripe & Ready

Guitarsy folksy music with a slight alternative edge, but closer to Jewel or Sheryl Crow… add in some Sarah McLachlan high notes, and male vocals harmonizing at times. Amelia has a beautiful voice, but something about the perfectly produced music backing her up makes the album slide more towards a mainstream flow. Kinda sad, kinda romantic. There’s a nice little cute girl voice swingin’ lounge cover of “Evil Ways,” but it seems that the cover shines the brightest.
