Shara Worden is My Brightest Diamond, een solo-artieste op formaat vanTori Amos of Fiona Apple die aan haar doen denken. Geen allerdaagse popdus. Haar nummers vertellen een verhaal over de meest verontrustendepunten van contact: Een telefoongesprek, een gewond paard en een libelgevangen in een spinnenweb. Ze verteld niet het hele verhaal, maar alleenhet gedeelte dat er echt toe doet. Dit zorgt vo...

Eller som herrn sa: “Asthmatic Kitty har mer än Sufjan att vara stolta över†Sant. Kvinnan som står bakom namnet My Brightest Diamond heter Shara Worden och gör musik om dramatiska möten i livet. Allt med en blandning av pop och opera. Something of An End , som är första spåret på kommande skivan, innehåller en av 2006 mest gripande och vackra refränger. Lyssna bara. Den 22 augusti släpps albumet Bring Me the Workhorse på Asthmatic Kitty.
Hello, I'm Tom from the music blog My Voice Rising. I wanna thank Bethanne for letting me help in this great project. If you read this, please keep in mind that we're doing this for a good cause, as we want to raise money for the charity the Global Fund For Women. (Donate some money!) Because we're supporting this charity I saw it fitting to go for a female theme in my postings. I want to start
Excellent album. I love My Brightest Diamond debut album, it's a beautiful, dark, yet intimate work. It unfolds slowly like a mini opera following a personal confession. Love, doubt, abandonement, death. The sound texture itself is intimate. A deep slowcore rock blurring the line between opera and rock, it has a lot of string and large cord phrases, painting dark mood and dread, often with vivid vocal. This album may not be for everybody, but if you enjoy something moody, this album is special. My Brightest Diamond is Shara Worden from Ypsilanti, Michigan. [...]
Upon first listen I love her voice, but can't seem to get into the album. Download Disappear Purchase for $9.99

After reading through Sarah Wordens bio, it would be hard to imagine her doing anything that was not related to music. After all, her musical roots run very deep. Her father was a National Accordion Champion, and her mother was the organist at her church growing up. Even her grandfather played an Epiphone. So when the sound of Sarah's rather innocent and somtimes untamed voice unravels, you can see how family has influenced her work. You may also know Sarah at a Illinoise cheerleader contributing to her friend Sufjans most recent effort. [...]
The weekend is underway and it is supposed to rain all day. After listening to today's artist I started feeling the mood and am actually waiting in anticipation for the storms. My 8 year old daughter will be arriving around lunchtime and due to the weather will be bugging me to mess with the new laptop. Barbie.com it is! (uggg.) If vocal fitness and talent mean anything to you then

Sorry, just too tired to do anything except give you my favourite non-album Sufjan track - because I bought The Avalanche today and I like it - some live My Brightest Diamond because I've been listening to her album and I love it, and some rare Arcade Fire because I've started dreaming about what their new album will be like. Sufjan Stevens - Borderline My Brightest Diamond - Disappear (live) The Arcade Fire [...]

I forgot to mention last night when I posted about Calexico and Sufjan Stevens, that this fine songstress is actually touring with Sufjan on his upcoming jaunt across the country. I'm not sure if she's playing all of the dates with him, but I know they're playing together at the Indianapolis show the GF and I will be attending. The comparisons to Tori Amos and maybe Fiona Apple are almost inevitable (although I think she sounds like a smokier Maura Davis , formerly of Denali ), given the powerful, fragile, intelligent songwriting [...]

Asthmatic Kitty, 2006 x Женские голоса. Крайне сложная и запутанная вещь, попробуй разберись. По-настоящему восхитительный голос все равно распознается тут же и по одному признаку. Не причем тут связки, не важен размер глотки и количество выдерживаемых октав,— прекрасны голоса тех женщин, которые поют не сами, а за которых поет их женственность. Да, так банально, но это правда. Вспомните Бет Гиббонс и Тори Эймос , а теперь послушайте Шару Ворден . Не голос — бриллиант. Ярчайший. Еще одна особенность таких голосов в том, что [...]

I didn't expect to be blown away by this song. I expected some soft whispering innocent sounds from Shara Worden, best known as a member of Sufjan Stevens' Illinoisemakers. And then this song comes out of my speakers. And all of a sudden I'm captivated, what an unbelievable song. This doesn't have anything of the soft, chillful sounds of Sufjan. Yes, it's tightly orchestrated like her former project, but this is dark, it's enigmatic. When she starts singing you will be haunted by her voice, and the beautiful, [...]

Ypsilanti, Michigan, usually has trouble measuring up to its neighbor to the north, Ann Arbor. The bar and restaurant scene is less vibrant, the clubs a bit dirtier, and Eastern Michigan University is no U of M, period. The brightest spot, perhaps, is Materials Unlimited , a salvage shop extrordinaire, filled with eclecticism and rare gems. And so, the analogy should be obvious — the music of former Ypsi-kid Shara Worden, a.k.a. My Brightest Diamond, is like something out of the finest architectural antique shop. Her stylized and orchestrated pop experiments are structured compositions, full [...]
O ne of the most anticipated released so far this year is My Brightest Diamond 's Bring Me The Workhorse . For those who may not know, My Brightest Diamond is mainly singer Shara Worden , although she does have a band backing her. It's sort of ambiguous who is "the band" and who is not--kind of like Bright Eyes isn't really just Conor Oberst . You may have heard Shara on background vocals for Sufjan Stevens ' Come on Feel the Illinois. Anyway, I [...]
The first time you listen to a My Brightest Diamond song, you're listening above all to the vocals, soaring like a kite that has broken free, or whispering and trembling as though reading the Brothers Grimm. When someone has a voice like this, they can only sing, and when someone sings like this, you can only listen. After that, on repeated plays, you'll grow to appreciate every little nuance on each song, like the rolled r's on 'Something of an End', the joyous shriek on 'Golden Star', and every single piece will make sense, building a tiny world that gives [...]
