MICHELE VREELAND - Never Not Myself (www.michelevreeland.com)

Offering up 7 songs worth of exquisitely bright, catchy and tuneful sparkling pop/rock, this EP CD immediately grabs the listener with its beautifully crisp, ringing and melodic sound. Better still, Michele Vreeland’s lovely soaring voice and sharp sense of thoughtful songwriting make for a formidable double whammy. Whether it’s the uplifting self-assertion of the wondrous “I’m a Person” or the heart-wrenching angst of the punchy, yet deeply affecting “Who I Am,” each and every last song scores a bull’s eye with spot-on touching and harmonic results. A radiant little winner.
