ArtistoftheWeek:Vanessa Carlton8/22/11-8/29/11

Vanessa Carlton has been a favorite of mine since her hit, "A Thousand Miles" in 2002. Her music has hit me ever since. Through the years fans have noticed that she has grown into her own identity as a singer/songwriter. Moving from A&R records, and releasing her albums at a good regular speed, once every three years. She's been showing off her creative styles in her third album, Heroes and Thieves and have really stepped away from the piano and into the folk sounds into her recent album, Rabbits On the Run.
Vanessa Carlton may have been known for her hit, but since then she has grown out of that song into a brand new world of music. You can see how she abandons the song in the beginning of the music video, "Nolita Fairytale". Her recent single, "Carousel", still keeps the sound of Carlton, with a twist of a new sound. Reminiscent of adventure and folklore, in the song. Carousel is kind of a sampler of what is in the album, Rabbits On The Run.
Looking at all that Carlton has done with her music and in life, I see this woman becoming a cult-classic musician.
Winning a certain audience of people with her music now, until the day she retires. She has gotten what she wanted, loyal and devoted fans.
Vanessa Carlton is a musician beyond her one-hit, beyond her record label. She is a true singer/songwriter that is becoming more of herself every single day.
