I completely agree !

Personally I had not noticed TIE and O were so similar. I have never liked Take It Easy anyway. But Operator makes me feel so good.

I am looking forward to listening to the album.

Nothing Where Something used to be is also a very good song. My favorite one of the EP so far.

I am waiting for House Of Seven Swords, Unlock The Lock, Willows and River above all.

We are not sure about the tracklist. I hope there would be more new songs. I don't like A Matter Of Time come to that.

But what worries me is how the voice is dealt on the disc. I really hate her voice on Young Heart and Blue Pool whereas the songs could have been absolutely perfect.

We will see.

But anyway I am still in love of her music. I really like how she has evolved since ATM.

I personally dislike her take on guitar driven songs (Dear California is an exception though). Like what you mentioned, A Matter of Time and Young Heart... gag. It's inspired because of John but like I said before I have nothing against the guy BUT Vanessa radiates on her piano driven songs. That's why we became fans in the first place. So it's just awry to me that she's trying new things and venturing other paths. Stick to what you know V. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It is not new and not only due to John to me.
I have never liked for example Get Good whereas I am in love with the omnichord live version ! The problem is clearly the guitar in the studio version.

But I must confess I am not really objective when it comes to Vanessa's piano.
As you said we became fan of Vanessa AND her piano and finally at the same time.
I have the feeling she betrays her art when she gives up on her piano.

By the way I really hope she will try new things on the piano. She has not done her best in this area since Rabbits.
She used to be a classical pianist and can play rock, pop and even jazz. She is not ambitious enough although she is obviously gifted enough. Pity !

I think it is great she tries new sounds. She is very innovative and that is good but with her piano it is better.

Very good interview !
"If I do another album" she says. I hope so !! She wants to see me die otherwise !

After that can't wait for the studio version of NWSUTB and A Matter Of Time with girls and guitar... Mmm it is likely to be very different from the song we know. And for the best I hope because as I said I loathe the song.

And I was wondering coldyoungheart, are we sure to hear a "living room" version of Take It Easy ? I thought this session had just been recorded for the EP.

I must admit, I'm very disappointed with the studio version of Take It Easy. I've always loved the live performances. That tweaky sound sample she uses. You could call it 'atmospheric electro'. It's still there in the album version but very subdued, buried underneath it all. I wonder if John had something to do with this... Don't get me wrong, I like the guy but V mentioned that he did added some guitar on it and it's pretty prominent, you can't deny that.

I just really wish it sounded more like the live performances. Just piano, the tweaky sample loop and Skye's lovely contribution of course.

For those who have the songs, I think it’s great you decide not to release them. Vanessa Carlton has the best fans of the world. Madonna should be jealous !
KULPDOGG, could you let us know your first feelings about this new stuff?

Polls / which other language do you want to speak the most?

« on: July 03, 2008, 06:14:33 am »

I speak French very well because I live in Paris since my birth. I speak a little English and I speak German too because I teach German in my school and I find German easy !

I can speak English and Spanish. I am learning French, I am going to be in French 3H this coming year and hope to go onto AP, but its going to be really hard. I like French though, so we will see.

French is very difficult but this language is really great !
