I’ve come to bump with Vanessa Carlton’s music after watching White Chicks. The sad truth is, I have known her brilliance a bit too late and I have missed out a huge chunk of her career because of old inclination to not watch movies because it’s mentally tiring.
Thousand Miles is a song that I can sing whenever and wherever I feel like to. With its catchy tune and the no nonsense lyrics had sealed its position as one of my most liked songs during the entire course of my lifetime.
What Vanessa Carlton sets apart from the singers her time is the coincidental timing of the songs that she released in line with the things that’s currently happening on my mediocre life.
As how many would succinctly put it, Carlton literally, and weirdly, write and sing songs that are just so in tune with what I want to express. She’s like the singer songwriter who have described and depicted my life through music.
But where is Vanessa Carlton right now?
After Carlton’s brave act of admitting that she is bisexual last 2010, she garnered mixed reactions by her followers and haters alike.
All the while, many have predicted that this admission would hugely affect her continuous rise to stardom but it had resulted otherwise.
Carlton continued to release albums and songs as the years passed. Concerts and wide-audience performances had kept her busy and she just skyrocketed to fame even more.
Three years later, Carlton got married to Deer Tick’s band member John McCauley on December 2013 which shattered my life to pieces.
On January 2015, Vanessa and John gave birth to their first girl and both had been active on social media about this blessing. Both never let go of music as both had still plans of continuing with their respective genres. Liberman, Vanessa Carlton’s fifth studio album is set to be released until the summer of 2015.
After establishing her career as Billboard’s Music Award for New Artist of the Year on 2002, Carlton never knew how to stop and made the world watch her in awe.
She easily snatched some coveted awards for American Music Awards for Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist and scoring three Grammy’s for the same year for her hit single A Thousand Miles for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s).
She managed to seal her stardom by releasing chart-topping albums namely: Be Not Nobody (2002); Harmonium (2004); Heroes and Thieves (2007) and Rabbits on the Run (2011).
I must state here that your liking of Taylor Swift is so much the same as how I liked Vanessa Carlton.
They are both brilliant artists who sing songs about love and the absence of it, of mistakes, of first times and all that’s being encompassed by the talks of the heart.
She is my Taylor Swift. Her edgy voice, her ability to play the piano (which is a staple for every music video that she had) and the wordplay that she used on her songs amplifies so much about the talent that she innately has.
Songs like ‘Pretty Baby’, ‘White Houses’ and Ordinary Day are some of the tracks that pretty much would give you a hint on how flexible an artist she is. Nolita Fairytale, Hands on Me, and Carousel are some of her tracks throughout the course of her career that are worth listening to.
