Leslie Mendelson - I Know You Better Than That (RAWsession)
New York transplant Leslie Mendelson has become a well-known folk songwriter in the Manhattan area, impressing with her breezy folk style that recalls classic pop artists like Carole King (perhaps her most obvious influence) and Laura Nyro. After self-releasing an album in 2005, Mendelson returns having won a label contract with Rykodisc and is releasing a second debut, of sorts, called Swan Feathers . It's a lovely singer/songwriter album that employs the likes of producer Rob Mounsey (Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Brian Wilson), guitarist James Maddock (Wood) and drummer Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors), but the focus remains on Mendelson's [...]

Random Friday ∞ Easy To Love

MoreJul 3, 2009, 8:00am The Late Greats
Random Friday ∞ Easy To Love Way back in August of last year, I made this proclamation: Leslie Mendelson's album "Easy Love" will be the first great new release of 2009. Leslie's music leans on the pop with substance side. Comparable artists = the three Sarahs: McLachlan, Bareilles and Harmer. Mendelson is from NYC. She likes to bum around with James Maddock – who some may remember from the band Wood. Download this mp3. And when she hits the big time in '09, you can say, "Oh Leslie. I've been listening to her months." [...]

Leslie Mendelson - Easy Love (RAWsession)
New York singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson describes her sound as a "lost Motown track", and it's easy to see just how and why that works on a more simmering soulful scale. Her new album Swan Feathers , just out this week on Rykodisc, has what we've called a "combination of laid back, sultry vibe and intelligent, piano-driven songs (that) may have some turning to the Norah Jones trajectory to find similarities in style and substance." Check out a "live in the studio" version of "Easy Love" to see if you don't agree. More DC [...]

New York-based singer/songwriter Leslie Mendelson 's combination of laid back, sultry vibe and intelligent, piano-driven songs may have some turning to the Norah Jones trajectory to find similarities in style and substance. But with her pitch-perfect second album Swan Feathers arriving June 30, Mendelson is clearly her own creative force on an album that simply glows with an assured, reflective light and not a small amount of heat to boot. "A lost Motown track" is how she describes her [...]
