“For the last three years, I've been on a mission,” says the former philosophy student, kicking her red heels with joy. From the pride glowing from the songwriter's grin, it's clear that the “mission” been a resounding success. After two years in the studio, the smooth and sultry songwriter is finally poised to release her debut record, ‘Up, Periscope!’ Filled with grace and passion, and loaded with hooks, it's a captivating Norah Jones meets Edie Brickell gem of a record that is the deserving source of her excitement.
Beaudette is the picture of satisfaction. Armed with a digital 8-track, some nerdy toys and a room full of instruments, she wrote, recorded and produced every glorious note of the raw and rapturous demos that would eventually become ‘Up, Periscope’. “I wanted to explore recording and producing my music before anyone else came aboard,” she says smiling broadly, “and it was the best decision I ever made.” Alone with her new toys, the singer found a voice she didn't know she had. And it was a discovery that was to unexpectedly shape the new album. “When I first started recording, I didn’t even have a mic[rophone] stand. I used to play guitar with my legs crossed and then stick the mic between my knees.”
After a year of writing and recording, those demos were given to a friend, who brought them to influential recording engineer, David Channing, who would become the producer and engineer of ‘Up, Periscope.’ “It was an apprenticeship in making solid records.” says Beaudette.
This hybrid combination of old and new recordings gives a refreshing soundtrack to Beaudette’s musical journey. The ride between her Seattle and Colorado studios mixed with recordings from Channing’s “Good Luck, Studio!” in Los Angeles may partly explain the cross-pollination of genres that is ‘Up, Periscope.' The album's dominant personality is smooth acoustic rock with flavors of edgy Americana and quirky Jazz. But it is her voice that captures us. Plain and simple, we just can't stop listening to her sing.
And yet, there is more to Beaudette than meets the ear. While we are swept away on the floating breeze of her melodic and opiate voice, we can’t help but notice what she is saying. The lyrics remind us of eras past; beat poetry from the 1960’s, with their catchy internal rhymes and witty social commentary. Her debut album is packed full of catchy tracks and smooth melodies, without any "filler" songs we usually skip-over on other albums. Every song on 'Up, Periscope!" is an essential part of the whole experience....and it's a journey we want to keep taking with her over and over again.
"Up, Persicope!" will be available at itunes and cdbaby. com on February 10, 2009.
