There's only one thing tougher than making your debut album, and that's recording your first demo. "Making mine was a total nightmare," laughs Vanessa Carlton. "I was 17 and living in Hell's Kitchen, working five days a week as a waitress in lower Manhattan. On the weekends, I'd grab my four-track and make the long drive to my parents' house in Pennsylvania, because that's where my piano was. With my father's help, I'd record take after take until four in the morning, determined to capture 'the perfect performance.' Unfortunately, my dog had other plans. Each time I'd get to the end of a good take, he'd ruin it with a woof, and we'd have to start all over again."
As if that weren't enough, Rolling Stone named Carlton one of the "Top 10 Artists To Watch In 2002." Calling her "a more pop-oriented Fiona Apple," the magazine praised Carlton's "serious formal skills at the keyboard," as well as her ability to keep her songs "busy with classical flourishes, rich voicings and harmonies reminiscent of Tori Amos."
While grateful for the recognition, Carlton could do without the analogies. "It's funny," she says, "You'd never hear Rage Against the Machine compared to Radiohead. But if they were women, they'd be compared all the time. If you're a girl who plays an instrument, you're going to hear the same comparisons over and over, even though every artist has something different to say. I think once people listen to the record, they'll realize I'm just me."
