I saw the video for her first single, The Story, on VH1, last night. I'm not sure what I think of her. She's got this sort of KD Lang/Bonnie Rait kinda vibe goin' on with her voice. Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of either Lang or Rait. I love the melody behind The Story, but the lyrics are some of the most banal I've heard in a long time, especially the last line in the chorus, "I was made for you". It just sounds like it was added as an afterthought, in a desperate attempt to come up with something to rhyme with the line before it. The link to VH1 includes 4 live performances.
