New Aimee Allen

You may have heard her previous albums, or contribution to the Hairspray soundtrack, but Aimee Allen is coming back with her most original and fresh CD to date, A Little Happiness. I had the opportunity to listen to the CD before its release, only to be impressed by Allen’s serene melodies and giddy lyrics. While Allen still stays true to her Cobain inspired roots, covering Sublime’s “Santeria” and at times letting her rock infused voice ring out, she juxtaposes those rock influences with simpler and more beautiful sounds and tones. With A little Happiness, which is being released July 21st, Allen transitions to more of a Mraz-esque direction, one that suits her well. If you’re looking for a nice light hearted summer album, check Allen out, and tell me what you think!
