Editorial Reviews

A Little Extra Sun is the third studio recording and first EP by American independent singer Megan Slankard, released on September 6, 2005 as the follow up to her second album, Freaky Little Story. REVIEW: A true indie success story in the wake of the success of her 2003 debut, Freaky Little Story, the California native -- a recent collaborator with Dire Straits founder David Knopfler -- has been compared to every great female artist under the sun. Yet based on the seductive modern rock vibe, crafty production, and soulful yet angelic vocals on this project, the most appropriate assessment came from Good Times Magazine: "She could make the Oxford English Dictionary sound melodious." It's wonderfully infectious stuff, from the trippy opening synth swirl of the anthemic and dreamy "My Hallelujah" through the heartfelt pop/rocker "Sails" and haunting, ethereal "You Love Like." There's even a little country in her soul on the gently rollicking "Planets." At five tracks, this is just an EP, but it's definitely quality over quantity for an artist who needs to be heard more of. ---Jonathan Widran

5.0 out of 5 stars concise but excellent, December 21, 2005

This is a short (18min 33sec) album of excellent new music. If you liked Megan and the band on Freaky Little Story you will love this one. It has a lush full sound, with great bite and energy.

I enjoyed the CD, but the seller duplicated this order and sent this same CD to me twice. They are trying to assess a 15% restock fee from me for the return of the 2nd unordered and unopened CD. This is the issue I am having with this purchase. I was also charged twice for this single transaction. Needless to say, I am not very happy at this time.
