A music critic's comment on 'Heroes & Thieves'...

[Martin.]

Vanessa Carlton, Heroes and Thieves (out Oct. 9): Of the three "anti-Britney" teen singer/songwriters who came out around 2002, Avril Lavigne has been the most successful but seems mired in permanent arrested development; Michelle Branch opted out into country with The Wreckers, who have been quite successful; and Carlton, after she didn't score a follow-up smash to her big hit, Thousand Miles, seems to be, relatively, the forgotten one. That's a shame -- she's got one of the strongest melodic gifts among today's flood of female singer/songwriters, and this album (particularly the first half) is full of memorable songs.

I know it's only small, but it means there should be more reviews coming out soon about it! So be on the look out.

aghaghagh how do they know the first half is thebest?!1?!?!?!?!? agh I want to hear the album already!!!!!!!

[Martin.]

Yeah, it's probably been sent out now for reviews to be written or whatever.

Less than three weeks to go!

Thanks for posting !!!
Can't wait to hear the first half.. and the second half as well !

That's awesome to hear about the first half! Because, I alreayd heard most of the songs on the second half and I was excited for those, because they sounded so good. But I have yet to hear "Spring Street," "My Best," and "Come Undone." Now, I'm sure they must be great and they're not just fillers.

Vanessa Carlton Presents "Heroes & Thieves" October 09th
Three Grammy nominations, third studio album...the symbolic third time may well be charming for Vanessa Carlton, whose forthcoming Heroes & Thieves (The Inc. Records) showcases the maturing talents of the 26-year-old singer/songwriter/pianist. Calling it "the best batch of songs I've ever written," she brings them brilliantly to life with a star team of co-producers - Irv Gotti, Stephan Jenkins and Linda Perry. The result is a standout collection for an artist who first exploded onto the scene in 2002 with her stunning debut Be Not Nobody and its hit singles "A Thousand Miles" and "Ordinary Day."

While she did not contribute her writing chops to Heroes & Thieves, the album felt an impact in more ways than one from legendary singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks, with whom Vanessa Carlton toured in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Hip-hop producer/entrepreneur Irv Gotti played an equally strong role in Carlton's unlikely leap to The Inc. Records, becoming his first new signing since inking a deal with Universal Motown Records.

What Vanessa Carlton has learned during the past five years is clearly the fodder that makes up the most compelling components of Heroes & Thieves, a thematic album best listened to in its entirety, despite the cafeteria habits of the iTunes generation. "People tell me my songs are a little weird or unconventional, but in a good way and I like that," says Vanessa Carlton. "I really wanted this album to be the one you want to wake up to on a Sunday morning and listen to over and over."

What's funny is that she dated a guy named Lindsey, too.  
Well, it's funny to ME anyway.

[twilightcarnival]

Ahaha I used to be like "Stevie Nicks? Who's that guy?"
But thats cool that music critics are talking about V's music. I hope the new album gets more famous than Harmonium
