"-Her throaty delivery handles this sophisticated melody with aplomb.
The piano and synth accompaniment is fairly pop,
but the vocal keeps it down to earth."

I’M HOME
Carla teams with songwriter Stephen Dorff to create this pop-colored Country album, rich with piano, strings, and harmonies, layered over passionate and artistic lyrics. The best track may be “Every Word You’re Thinking,” penned by Dorff and his co-producer Milton Brown. It’s the song of a woman who’s not afraid to say what’s on her partner’s mind. That’s typical of this album, featuring bold songs and fearless styling. This is apparently Carla’s first album, and she put everything into it, including great songs, beautiful production, and stellar musicianship.

I’m Home
A native of the South, Carla Williams brings a sound to the table that is full of raw and powerful honesty. Her first single off of this CD was released to radio earlier in the year; “Every Word You’re Thinking” and brings light and truth to facing the truth in a cheating relationship.”
Carla has a voice that is solid and easy to listen too. Her vocals are pure and carry the song without a lot of production tricks. Simple and a pleasure to listen too. “I’m Home” speaks of love and comfort and is a love song at its best, where “Take It Back” gets you on your feet and swaying with the beat.

Album Review by Bev Moser
Mobile Alabama native Carla Williams has an instantly recognizable voice that combines a very beautiful and subtle expressiveness with a powerful, emotional and honest delivery. While Carla has her own unique voice, its ability to grab your heart strings is reminiscent of great singers such as Amy Grant, Karen Carpenter, and Anne Murray. She has a sweet, pure voice that stands on its own and requires no vocal tricks or special affects. She has garnered favorable reviews from Nashville’s toughest critic, Robert K. Oermann, of Music Row and the support of major industry players.
Carla’s first CD, “I’m Home,” is full of pop colored country songs that feature the talents of legendary composer Steve Dorff and gifted lyricist and producer Milton Brown. These heartfelt songs draw you into story lines that everyone can relate to and Carla’s honest delivery makes you feel the emotions she is singing about. The first single released to radio stations, “Every Word You’re Thinking,” penned by Dorff/Brown, provides an omniscient view of the all too common problem of unfaithful relationships.
The next single to be released for radio play in the second week of July, 2009, “If I Smoke,” describes the emotions people go through when they discover their partner is cheating and cleverly suggests some ways of coping with such a discovery. This song will have you dancing and thinking at the same time as it empowers the victim in these circumstances.
Equally captivating songs from this CD are the love song “I’m Home,” which speaks more to the security of a truly loving relationship, “Mobile,” which expresses Carla’s deep affection for her home town, “Room for Doubt,” which thoughtfully expresses the insecurities we all feel in relationships sometimes, and “Hate the Lies,” which very eloquently speaks to our willingness to believe the lies that someone we love tells us.
“I’m Home” also gets you up and dancing with the great upbeat country tunes “You Rock,” and “Party at Home.” The CD nearly closes with a song called “Take it Back,” which expresses how many of us feel when we give everything we have in a relationship and get nothing in return.
Carla’s life long passion for music and dreams of making singing her career has culminated with an exceptional first CD. With the music and production of Steve Dorff, one of the best composers of the last several decades and Milton Brown, one of the most talented writers out there and her pure, spiritual voice, Carla is well on her way to becoming an angel for our radios!
