ArtistoftheWeek:Azure Ray9/15/10-9/27/10

I love Azure Ray, their music is so addicting and very soothing. Especially on their first album, which set the musically fit that this band is. Indie folk/pop, with sounds of the countryside and calming feminine vocals to lull you to sleep.
Luckily Azure Ray switches it up a little bit, it's not all sadness or boredom on a sunny day.
Their lyrics, mostly targeted towards love and loss, are so carefully structured with the sounds and little metaphors in their melody is so attracting.
When I first heard an Azure Ray song I was blown away. The song that sold me to this group was Sleep. Pandora played the song to me and I loved it.
This group had been well recognized by the media and the public as a great folk duo. I swear if America loved Folk music right now, Azure Ray
would be #1 for more than a couple of weeks.
How can you not like two girls who can sing and write very felling.
I remember when I heard that Azure Ray broke up. I was devastated, mostly because I found out they broke up about a week or two after I fell in love with them and their music.
So while they were broken up I checked out more of their music (singles, EPs) and then Maria Taylor (the other part of Azure Ray, one on the left), so then I was pre-occupied with maria taylor's CD. I feel in love with her Ladyluck album and haven't thought of Azure Ray since.
This summer, I hear that Azure Ray is releasing a new album. I was so excited, and filled with glee that I couldn't keep my excitment. So I pre-ordered the album and I wanted to see their album's CD and lyric booklet. I love buying CD's it's exhilarous What was even better was that the CD came 2 weeks earlier with stickers and coasters!
Ok, well the album was over all great. The songs that stuck out to me are amazing. The songs that struck out me from the album are; "Don't Leave My Mind"
"Silver Sorrow"
"On And On Again"
"Make Your Heart"
& "Lonely Girls"
I have to say their recent album, is really insightful, in the beginning middle and until the end of the album. They've grown a lot since the last 6 years of making an album together.
