 Songs form the Attic: Brooke White Mainstream with Genuine artististry. December 1, 2008

I picked up Brooke White's Songs from the Attic quite a while back. I had enjoyed here on IDOL as true original. The disc dates back well over two years and while it is an indie production the overall result is shows honest promise and in places real dazzle. Four out of five.
"The Way Things Used to Be" was the favorite track. It jumped out. Sharp, clean, haunting with lovely lyrics, and a great hook. Brookes reading is superb here with her close breath work giving it even more feeling with a chill factor. She made me believe she had lived parts of song. Lyrics alone were beautiful with powerful images of "ticking clocks that pass the hours and shadows peer from the moonlights cast memoirs of the haunting past" Co-written with Robin Randall this was the true singer/songwriter material hope to see more of.
Switch over to the blue inflection in Come to My Rescue and off in another direction with the bouncy rhythmic Like I Do. The cover of Aero smith's "Dream On" was a "bit" of over polish. The second, cover Cold play's "Yellow," however is my preferred version.
"Follow me" was a change from piano allowing Brooke to show her vulnerable and often stated "I'm an emotional gal persona". Keep running had a haunting quality vulnerable and gently closing the disc.
One can here her influences, Carly Simon, The Carpenters, and James Taylor, etc. in places on the album. Your so Vain, was, in words of Carly Simon , in a phone call to Brooke, a better contemporary version of the original than Carly had ever done.
Songs from the Attic is polished with a sense of music vision even then. It is main stream proving Brooke can be contemporary, and yet stay true to her roots with her warm intimate style and charm.
"ATTIC" is crafted singer/songwriter stuff. Whatever label Brooke gets help from now her Idol summer tour is done, all she needs is a studio that will open their wallets.
Intimate, warm and sincere, "ATTIC" is worth buying.

Really the worst kind of pop music. Couldn't stand her on the show and the CD is even worse.
 love it! November 20, 2008

I've had this CD in my car for 9 months and I can't bear to take it out. I loved her on American Idol, and the CD is even better. I bought it right after she got kicked for an exorbitant price and it was worth it!! :)

This is one of the worst cds I've ever bought...The only way it's worth my money is to put it on the concrete and crush it with a hammer so no one else has to hear this dreadful singer...Sorry but that's how I feel...If your thinking of buying this cd Please listen to it before you do because I would have to say it SUX!!!
 enjoyable CD November 18, 2008

i ran across this album while surfing amazon and previewed it. i must say the more i listen to it the more i like it. for being a low-budget independent label effort it is really good. it is really a shame that this album didn't get promotion at its release. i recommend this CD. i enjoy that it is simple arrangements, not an overly produced album and that is in part what makes it good.
