Amy Correia

Editor's Review:

Amy Correia's debut record, Carnival Love, is made for those who can't get enough of the sorrowful, fragile songs of Joan Osborne, Macy Gray, Sarah McLaughlin or Tori Amos, but who don't have the sense to appreciate the true talent of singer / songwriters such as Julie Doiron, Edith Frost, Cat Power or even (the mainstream alternative to Cat Power) Beth Orton. Correia's songs are about discontent - with love, herself and just the whole damn world - and her vocals display this dissatisfaction; they are off-key, girlish and with a strained tone that is, quite obviously, put on. Carnival Love is just contrived and insidious enough, that it will, surely, find a place in the music collections of all the teenage girls who think they've grown up since they bought Meredith Brookes' "Bitch" single.
