Album Name: A Purple Kind of Blue
Artist: Meredith Blis
Year/Label: 2006 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Meredith Blis is a talented singer and pianist and this is her debut. She has an appealingly bluesy slant to her music.
“Smile my Blues Away” has some fun lyrics and a cool melody.
“I’d be a witch of Eastwick
With long platinum hair
Cast any spell
With just a wink and a stare”
she sings.
“Mighty Aphrodite” is a sweet song that asks the goddess of love for advice.
“Mermaid Girl” is transcendently beautiful with its longing to escape the mundane world. Blis plays her piano wonderfully and the cello compliments it well.
“Breakdown” is a lovely song, Blis singing sweetly to a fluid melody. The use of strings is well thought out.
It’s a good debut.
