Okay, here's an article I found in a French magazine (yes, you read that correctly!! Michelle in a French mag!! 8O ) and since Vanessa is mentioned in there, I thought I'd post it:
And here's the translation:
Michelle Branch, new breed (pop)Who? Carlos Santana's favorite and representing a new generation of young singer-songwriter women - like Vanessa Carlton and Norah Jones -, Michelle Branch releases a new album that confirms her clear style.
What? Very "roots" songs she sings with her fragile voice and where it's about little heartaches and loneliness.
What more? Far from the synthetic effects of the current teenage trend, like Christina Aguilera, the little Michelle opens a new path, more musical, more mature.
Sorry for my translation, it's not perfect :?
