Details:
More songs by long time home recording artist LINDA SMITH (''Emily''s House'', also available at CD BABY). Includes two instrumentals, a NICO cover, a remix by techno artist Arthur Loves Plastic, and original tunes inspired by Gettysburg, celebrity lifestyles, and poet Louise Bogan. Performed and recorded in Linda Smith''s own unique style.
"Linda Smith''s title track is a jaunty little tune that would fit nicely on a Kinks record...a melody that sways like a curious, excited child down a forest path. Such an image also parallels ''Something New''s'' vibe. A retro synth starts it off, with Smith literally ''getting off'' on the joy of music-making as she''s ''leaving the station''. Then, reaching out toward every branch of pop that''s pleased her, this girl of modest voice sprints from folksy British pop to Nico remakes to casually played Casio-guitar instrumentals that sound, at every moment, like they were purely her own ideas, with no hint of outside influence. The melodies are pretty good, too -- enough to warrant trying ''Something New!''.(Spendid Ezine)
