Alice Leon
writes pop songs of the traditional
variety. Harking back to vintage masters
like Carole King (and adding just a hint
of influence from modern pop rockers
such as Aimee Mann, Jill Sobule and
Shawn Colvin. Leon teams up with
guitarist James Leahey on this (their
3rd CD and aptly titled) and frames her
shimmery melodies in soaring band
arrangements. Laden with infectious
hooks, provocative lyrics and
sing-a-long choruses that embrace
substance" |

Alice makes lyric and melodic driven
acoustic/alternative/indie rock that
will connect with lovers of Carole
King, Aimee Mann, Suzanne Vega, Jill
Sobule and John Lennon. Songs about
faith, armchair warriors, love,
botox, and regifting are neatly
wrapped in masterful
instrumentation. Alice is outspoken,
funny...a master story teller...and
extremely honest.
Alice can take
some comments on love, and make you love
in that moment.
She can make some
comments on pain and hurt, put some
sharp wit and a fun groove to it - and
help you remember that you can rely on
yourself to get through.
But
overall, people look to rock & roll to
take them away from the chores and work
of their lives - to escape, have fun,
find joy, understand emotions, feel...

In 1998, the Alice Project's recording
career was off to a promising start with
The Big Number, which showed
band leader Alice Leon to be an
expressive, highly appealing
singer/songwriter along the lines of
Sheryl Crow and Edie Brickell. Leon, who
produced and arranged this excellent CD
with Alice Project keyboardist Scott
Monetti, brings a great deal of warmth
and vulnerability to personal-sounding
pop/rock offerings like "Bob," "All That
I Wanted," "Knight in Shining Armor,"
and "Goodbye Old Friend (The Shaka
Song)."
But for all of her
vulnerability and introspection, Leon
never comes across as wimpy or waifish.
The Princeton, NJ, resident isn't afraid
to let her sensitivity show, but unlike
some of the singer/songwriters who
emerged in the '90s, she never sounds
whiny and refuses to drown the listener
in self-pity. Anyone who has spent a lot
of time listening to Crow, Brickell, or
Carole King should make a point of
hearing The Big Number. |
