Search - Audra Hardt :: Superficial Superstar

Audra Hardt has been said to combine perfect pitch with a soulful grit that brings to mind rock stars as diverse as Joplin, Benatar, and Morissette. Fluctuating between atmospheric angst and pure 80 s power-pop, Audra s performance of the songs on her new EP, Superficial Superstar , certainly justifies the comparison. From the opening track, 'Watch Me,' it is immediately apparent that Hardt possesses extraordinary vocal prowess. She effortlessly goes from grungy growls to bluesy howls and the sheer power of her pipes infuses the music with raw intensity. Musically ripe with anthemic guitar work, powerful back-line, and hard-driven by Hardt's attitude, each song creates a hot-link between her and the listener, leading both to self-discovery. Along with 'Sinner Saint,' the EP features the vocally impressive 'You Said,' the power ballad 'Now and Then,' a challenge to 'Think,' and her invitation to 'Do It To Me.'
