"Being Visited" by Lo Galluccio (Pop artist from New York City, New York (NY))

"Being Visited" by Lo Galluccio is an avante-garge pop album full of delightful oddity. Lo has a wonderful voice and her mixed styles of delivery – both spoken and sung – is delightfully unique. This CD's sound draws from many genres and regions, and stretches the boundaries of traditional pop. Lo's seductive vocals are certainly the centerpiece of these tunes. Also adding to the appeal of this album are some cool harmonies, overlaying of verses, and general weirdness. Moreover, the arrangements take their appropriate place behind Lo's captivating vocals, and successfully accentuate the mood of each song. Highlights include "Black Sun," which flaunts an intense vocal performance and some good tabla work. The cover of "You Go to My Head" is ambiently jazzy, with a powerful build and sultry vocals. "Being Visited" is a spoken-word piece with otherworldly lyrics, nice vocal layers and an array of haunting instruments. If you like Bjork and Patty Smith, you'll like this one.

Remy de Laroque brings you a world of sounds in his album, "Where We're From." Remy's voice is warm and filled with personality. The harmonies are enriching and subtle. The arrangements are very textural, yet raw at the same time. A unique feature in the vast lineup of sounds is the use of the saxophone, an instrument you don't hear often in the acoustic genre. It works well and certainly adds to this album's unforgettable quality. "Now What" opens the album, quickly introducing listeners to Remy's impressive guitar work and passionate vocals. "Be Like Water" is a skippin'-down-the-way track with some beautiful harmonies, sax and a little whistling.

With production that is not overdone and of top-notch quality, this album is one that deserves to be heard.
