Search - Blake Hazard :: Little Airplane

Most striking about Blake Hazard's music may well be that voice: fresh and unaffected, strong yet vulnerable. It seduces as only a natural instrument of beauty can. Although Little Airplane is her debut album, the confidence of Blake Hazard's delivery brings to mind a far more seasoned performer. Her lyrical approach is evocative and wise beyond her years. Enchanting on first listen, these songs prove their staying power and deliver any number of "favorites." From the atmospheric "Bedtime" and "Converting To The Diver Species" to the stark but stunning "St. Sebastian," Blake evokes the melancholy of Hamlet's Ophelia, yet songs like "Waiting" leave you with an expectant optimism. Add to all this the multi-tracking genius of John Dragonetti (Jack Drag) and the sonic tapestries he creates using elements of psychedelia and electronica, and you've got a startlingly impressive debut indeed. Little Airplane will see release in early July 2002.
