NOW! "Fat, gorgeous melodies; lyrics you can read
like poetry, or that sound like whispered confidences.
Understated,elegant arrangements & playing. Lovely
vocals from Noëlle Hampton. A near-perfect package
of words and music, soul and inspiration."- Ben Fong-Torres (former editor/Rolling Stone)http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/hampton4***********************************************************************************************************************************

(4 stars out of 5)
Shawn Colvin fans should seek out this singer-songwriter, whose lightly grained tonal sweetness is reminiscent of Colvin. Formerly based in the Bay Area and now relocated to Austin, Hampton’s sturdily crafted pop tunes are similarly warmed by rootsy instrumentation, including B3 organ, Wurlitzer, cello, acoustic and electric guitars. Bookended by the hooky title track and an aching cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness,” the strongest tracks (“Always the Same,” “Cold Strings,” “Blackwing Butterfly,” “Firecracker”) chronicle a reportedly hellish year of depression with piercing honesty and melodic buoyancy.noellehampton.com.
