Synopsis

Album Description
Secrets, the debut CD from Allison Crowe, singer-songwriter, is "soulful, poignant, and always intense". Describing further the album?s "piano-based rock" sound, indie music columnist Jennifer Patton (in Delusions of Adequacy 'zine) says: "Allison plays with styles and infuses bits of blues, folk, jazz, and more into each song, all beautifully packaged around piano and limited use of guitar and other instruments." "This incredible chill-inducing voice coming out of a young person is such a rare treat," writes Amy Lotsberg, of Minneapolis-based Collected Sounds. "This girl?s the real deal." "Brilliant Tori Amos-like album with its own soul," says Swedish reviewer Anna Maria Stjärnell in Luna Kafé?s review of Secrets.

CD Reviews

You won't regret this purchase, that's for sure.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well, I've been an admirer and supporter of Allison Crowe since I reviewed her first EP, "6 Songs" in October of 2002. I was stunned then, as I am now. This incredible chill-inducing voice coming out of a young person is such a rare treat in the age of Britneys, Hilarys and so on. This girl's the real deal. This release showcases Crowe's beautiful strong, gutsy voice, as well as her piano playing and songwriting that seem way past her young years. She has actually matured on this CD in comparison to her previous releases."
Absolutely outstanding. Chilling raw talent.

"I first saw Allison sing at a taping for BT here on Canada's East Coast. After hearing just one song I immediately scoured downtown looking for a copy of her CD. I haven't heard such amazing talent in a long time. A breathtaking artist with an outstanding set of vocal cords, standards, and genuine raw talent. She's just as good, if not better, live than on CD. This is a must-have for your collection. She's currently on tour. If she's in your area, I'd check her out live, too."
Fabulous

"This is obviously a first release with some technical problems but the music is amazing, her voice is fantastic, and it's one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. I listened to all of the downloads on the amazon website and loved them so much I had to buy the cd. The other songs are just as good if not even better. I would recommend this cd for people who like strong voices and music that stirs your soul."
