Alternative pop songstress Erinn Williams knows that shes not your prototypical pop star. And she doesnt give a damn. While some will mutter Tori Amos under their breath as they listen to her dynamic album Digging In the Dirt, I hear more of a Bjork influencemostly due to their enigmatic songwriting and her underlying attitude. Her music definitely has the electronic flare ups that both of those aforementioned female artists utilize in their latest music. Erinn Williams is a strong singer/songwriter that whose background in opera translates into some of her dramatic overtures that she writes into her music. The best song on the album is the alluring drive of Farthest From Me with its up-tempo bass that builds into a crescendo amid her whispered laidback vocal attack.

Erinn Williams. Digging in the Dirt
Digging in the Dirt, the newest album by singer/songwriter Erinn Williams, is like the diary of every angst-ridden teen girl. With songs that cry out words of unrequited love, loneliness and pain, there is a verse for every Tori Amos moment one might have.
Williams, a talented musician with a background in opera, has been called a “distant cousin of Kate Bush.” Though only now getting major nods in the music industry, Williams has already had her music featured in independent films, national commercials for Virgin Mobile, and the television show The Shield.
Williams’ newest treasure, Digging in the Dirt, features her poetic voice backed by beautifully picked musicians. With songs like “Delicate” showcasing violinist Charlene Huang’s haunting melodies, Williams sets the melancholy mood with every verse. She pushes the boundaries of what other musicians usually abide by to create songs that truly force someone in the audience to feel the emotions being created. Williams paints pictures with her powerfully written lyrics, such as those found in “Yellow Sky”: “The needle forms from the clouds / And injects the world from the sky / My wings spread far above the earth / And my limbs with heaven intertwine.” Every word weaves its way from her mouth around the hearts of her listeners and pulls them into the musical dream she has created.
For fans of Fiona Apple, PJ Harvey and other angsty female musicians, this is a must-have. Erinn Williams is a soon-to-be star, and the sooner you jump on her bandwagon, the sooner you’ll have some great music for every rainy day of your life. (Self-released)

Hi how are you doing? I thought I should pass this quote along;
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness, of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony." ~Benjamin Britten
I hope whatever you are listening to, you are cranking it! Karen :)
