Title: Billboard review of Nolita Fairytale

It's been five long years since Vanessa Carlton conjured piano magic with top five Billboard Hot 100 debut "A Thousand Miles." Third album "Heroes and Thieves," due in October, marks her launch with Irv Gotti's the Inc. Carlton is fortunate to still have the major-label machine behind her—relevant because of the autobiographical nature of "Nolita Fairytale," in which she addresses career trials with previous home A&M ("Took away my record deal, spent the last two years getting to what's real"). Melodically, a marching band shuffle beat tempered by outfront keyboards drives the track, with vocal layers adding ethereal air. Produced/co-written by steadfast boyfriend Stephan Jenkins, "Fairytale" is not necessarily a one-listen front-runner, but repeated spins reveal admirable complexity and masterful musicianship. —Chuck Taylor

This review, along with many posts I've seen regarding this song, makes me feel that in order for this song to be a hit, people will need to at least *like* it a little at first, in order for it to eventually grow on them.
