Happy Female Singer/Songwriter... but good!

MySpace.com - Anna Meldrum - Glasgow, UK - Acoustic / Pop - www.myspace.com/annameldrum


This talented lady has been making waves in Glasgow with her oh-so-pretty acousto-pop beats. She also happens to be supporting us at the Tunnels on the 24th July.

Any thoughts? Would you come to see her? Do you detest this sort of music with all your of your black, black heart but can accept that she's pretty talented? Or would NOTHING be enough to justify your attendance of a Headlight gig?

Let me know, let me know.

Gorgeous voice- really enjoyed the parts in the Timbaland cover where her accent shone through.

I quite like it, even though she's a perfect example of the kind of female singer/songwriter which I generally hate. Quite twee but she's got a good voice. Could be one of a bunch of people though, she doesn't stand out for me.

It's a bit meh... I prefer singer songwriters to have an edge to it. I can imagine her songs soundtracking an episode of the O.C. or something.

Nice voice though...

This is quite twee but I think when it's done well live music like this can sound great.

YouTube - Ingrid Michaelson, "Giving Up"

If she can sing well live then probably worth watching in my book, the songs are not that bad really (compared with a lot of crap like this that you get). It always impresses me watching someone perform live when it's all about tone and quality of voice, it they can pull it off it always sounds better live.

Yeah I agree, her voice is probably the main attraction, but I reckon her songs are a pretty good vehicle for it. I'm not too convinced about being 'twee' though, interestingly I wouldn't say the songs on her myspace are lyrically her best tunes.

Also, she's not playing on the 24th anymore, but will be making an appearance before the summer is over. Lovely.

Because I'm bored and can't listen to the music I'm going to tell you my favourite female singers.

Joan Baez and Kate Bush. I can't believe more people don't like Kate Bush. She really is a genuinely creative, inspired and progressive musician.
