Elissa Franceshi album review

I recieved yesterday my limited edition signed copy of Elissa Franceshi's album 'Into The Light'...and I absolutly love it. If you are a fan of You Me At Six and you recognise the surname Franceshi that's because Josh the lead singer of You Me At Six is the cousin of Elissa.

I played it for the first time straight after I recieved it in the post...I have to admit that as soon as I saw what looked lika a small jiffy bag in my post box, a huge smile broke across my face as I was thinking earlier that day of seeing if I could track my order as I'd ordered this album through kitemco.com. I have to say straight away I played her really beautiful track 'Rocks and Tears'. I'd heard a clip of this song on soundcloud.com a couple of months before and I loved it.

The other tracks on the album were just as incredible...I mean after the first listen of all the album I loved the album and think that this is the best album that I ever purchased this month....I especially love her songs 'Salt ft. Josh Franceshi', 'Rocks and Tears', 'Rainbow on Fire',  and 'Flirt'. I usually buy albums just after I've heard one song from the artist, but this time I'm glad I heard both 'Rainbow on Fire' and 'Rocks and Tears', but I think if I'd just heard 'Rocks and Tears' I would have gone out straight away and bought the album because I think it is just that amazing.

I know this sounds like I'm really going on about Elissa Franceshi's album but it is a review after all and I even have listened to some of the other tracks she has done that aren't on the album but are on her MySpace page, these are just as amazing and I can really see why Paramore have already on their previous tours covered a few of her tracks and I can bet you that some artists are now going to be lining up around the block to cover the songs on this album.

If you have any spare time in your day today or any day I urge you to listen to a few of these tracks on Youtube so as you can hear for yourself how great her voice is, and how with just a piano or a guitar accompanying her voice the song it turned from a good song that will be in your head for the rest of the day to a great song that you want to hear over and over again and that you won't mind having them stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Or if like me you hear one song and don't mind buying albums, then I strongly urge you to buy this album....or more importantly go to Elissa's MySpace page now and listen to her cover of Robert Pattinson's 'Let Me Sign'. I have heard it and I have to say that it is really good, more haunting than the original version and I don't want to offend any 'Twihards' that may or may not read this blog but I prefer this version even if it is a shorter version.
