WINSLOW BRIGHT left her Dallas area high school her freshman year, January 2006, to audition for TV and film in L.A. However, after eight months, a young actor friend encouraged her to return to high school. He offered Bright the sound advice, “Go to football games, your senior prom, and graduation. Those things you can’t get back.”
As Bright managed to “get back” to her role as a “normal” teenager in the fall of 2006, she made contact with songwriters in Los Angeles and Dallas. Her L.A. connections led to live performances at venues such as West Hollywood’s Genghis Cohen and The Door Dallas, in addition to songwriting collaborations picked up by publishers for television and movie use (Heavy Hitters, ASCAP.) Winslow’s meeting with Dallas indie producer/singer-songwriter, Salim Nourallah, led to a two-year-long project and ultimately her independent debut album, Lovable, January 2009. Nourallah called in several of the best Dallas musicians to perform on the eleven song CD of which Bright co-wrote seven. John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional), Chris Holt (The Slack), Don Cento, Rip Rowan, Billy Harvey, Daniel Hopkins (Radiant), and Carter Albrecht (Edie Brickell and The New Bohemians) all lent a musical hand.
Winslow’s “Lovable” album blends old school, mid-century sounds with teen themes of unrequited love timelessly unresolved. Although Bright had been writing with Nourallah prior to the U.K.’s Amy Winehouse and Duffy hitting the U.S. market, she hopes their success confirms people will enjoy her album and musical influences. Bright’s co-write with Nourallah, Could You Be My Baby? beckons memories of Roy Orbison, with its melodramatic vocals and lyrics. Bright confesses she wasn’t familiar with Orbison until she proposed the song to Nourallah, but when he played Orbison’s music, the song quickly took shape. Shampoo, sprinkled with whimsical, winking 1960’s references, offers a playful dismissal of a relationship, while Let’s Slip Away provides instant flirtatious dreaminess with the straightforward line, “I could be the one you love, if you want me to.” The title track, Lovable, penned by Nourallah and his brother, Faris, hints at irony with words like “I’m not as lovable as you would like me to be/That’s the truth, sorry.” The title slyly reveals there is more to this “record” than simply “pop” music.
Bright officially releases Lovable at The Granada Theater, Dallas, Texas, January 23rd, 2009, 8 pm.
