With a voice that captures both intimacy and intensity, ADALINE'S compelling piano compositions, revealing lyrics, and haunting melodies have been seducing audiences since 2005. From pulsing rock, to cabaret, to orchestral ballads, ADALINE creates meticulously crafted soundscapes where brass, strings, and vibraphone meet electric guitars and programmed percussion. Classical and pop sensibilities meet; soundtracks are both artistic and accessible. Often compared to the likes of Fiona Apple, Cat Power, and Tori Amos, ADALINE too is inspired by the craft of songwriting. A classically trained pianist, ADALINE studied music during her school years and into her post-secondary studies. Maturing in a musically saturated environment, both at home and in her studies, developed her voice at an early age.
"I have always known that music is life. As I grow older, I see more of what that means. I know that when writing a piece of music I am creating something that is both intimately mine and yet overwhelmingly yours. This sharing process, the way we reveal the intricacies of who we are, both lyrically and musically, is powerful beyond comprehension. This vulnerability is both terrifying and beautiful: therein lies the power."
ADALINE'S anticipated full length album, Famous For Fire, recorded at the prestigious Factory Studios and at Demitone Productions, was released nationally on April 22nd, 2008. Showcasing the talents of over 20 Canadian musicians and produced by Scott Sanft, the album is a stunning symphonic tapestry with electronic, folk, and rock persuasions. ADALINE'S played her CD release show to a sold out crowd at The Biltmore Cabaret on Friday April 25th, 2008. She is embarking on her first tour in June. With a promising career and the passion to sustain it, ADALINE is sure to grace your music collection soon.
ADALINE - where sound and soul meet.
I'll definitely come check out one of your shows sometime. That's cool that you're playing at the Beaumont because my girlfriend rents studio space there...
I came across a little table that tells me who has subscribed to my (little) blog and anonymous readers and I realized the numbers are pretty high (which I thought was odd) but anyways what I am letting you know is, I took advantage of this in your honour...... I made a blog for you and yours truly, your CD. ;)
Shawna or should I say Adaline? On behalf of Griffins Anvil and myself. I must say that listening to your music, reminds us of what dreams are made of. If you don't get signed in the next year I will loose all hope for the Music Buisness.
