Album Review: 85th and Nowhere by Michele Ari
Album Name: 85th and Nowhere
Artist: Michele Ari
Year/Label: 2005 / Independent
Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
Michele Ari has a terrific voice and a smart way with words. Her debut album is a confident collection of songs.
“My Sleeping Beauty” has a ringing guitar and a wistful lyric of faded love.
“Please” is an up-tempo song that instantly memorable. Ari sings a strong lead while Ronny Elliott provides a nice backing vocal.
“Nevermind” starts with the intriguing lyric “Woke up in last nights makeup”. It’s musically reminiscent of Nick Lowe’s early eighties sound.
The country-tinged “1000 Kisses” closes the brief but sweet collection. Michele Ari is an talented new artist.
