Yeah! Tell us what it is, girl! Gwen Stefani, Gaga, Peter Gabriel, Timberlake, lots of vocal influences to pick out here. The Gwen influence is the most evident here though, listen to some of those vocal affectations in the verses. For "Calling the Maker", a few big beats, some really big hooks, and a little bit of soul all cook together here excellently and amount to great track from Aimee Allen. Tell us what y'all think. Aimee Allen - Calling the Maker Aimee Allen [...]
If you've been playing along, you already know that we're blogging from the road as we drive North up the California coast, with a day or two each in Eugene and Portland before we head homeward a week from today. In fact, if today goes as planned, we'll be wand'ring (and camping) amidst the redwoods as this post goes live. As is our tradition here on Cover Lay Down, our immersion in the culture and landscape of a particular vacation region has precipitated a series of features which connect our coverfolk mandate to [...]
Let us gaze now into our custom Flashion Forward crystal ball and coquettishly zig and zag about the closets of UI's fave new interviewees to examine the physical and psychological baggage they pack their shizzle in. Join me, won't you? Today we're invading Aimee Allen's boudoir. First things first: kick ass music aside, I absolutely love it when a lady–who could have become yet another corny helmet-hair talking head (oky, babbling incoherently talking head) on a horrifyingly craptastic TVGuide Channel show–decides to take the rougher, more shoddily paved (and paid) road to notoriety. Aka, indie [...]
These days, even Transylvanians are sick of vampires, particularly those of the brooding, sexy variety. So we're gonna throw it back to the days of Sabrina the Teenage Witch with a post on all things black cat and pointed hat.Omnia - Wytches' Brew (William Shakespeare)"Double, double, toil and trouble." The three witches who open Macbeth enjoy one of the most famous speeches in history, brewing
I wish every person in the world was like Aimee Allen . She's rambunctious, engaging, friendly, authentic, and generally all-around awesome. After releasing one of my favorite albums so far this year, she hit the road with Sugar Ray and Fastball. A week ago Sunday she played St. Pete, braved the horrendous humidity, and laid down a solid half hour of dancing, singing, and good times, all without stopping moving once. We managed to slow her down for a few minutes after her set to chat about weather appropriate clothing, turning off the TV, [...]
A Little Happiness By Aimee Allen Her first album was ground under the wheels of corporate machinery, lost in a label merger. A random gang attack left her beaten near death. The post traumatic stress made her recoil from her trademark raucous anthems. Aimee Allen was at a creative crossroads. Can she put aside the rage and snarl in favor of a quieter, more introspective album? Can the girl who energized a stadium full of Ron Paul supporters over weighty issues of [...]
Year's ago on The WB they premiered a new show called Birds of Prey , which was the story of Batman and Catwoman's long lost daughter and her female super-hero companions. The show was interesting, but not a hit. What was outstanding and caught my notice about the show was the title music. So much so that it got me on Google trying to figure out who it was. The answer was Aimee Allen . At the time she was in the studio finishing up her first album on a major label and was set to [...]
