Rachael Cantu doesn't do anything revolutionary on her short and sweet debut record, but her confidence and appealing voice don't take long to get their hooks in. At eight songs and just over 27 minutes, Run All Night sweeps by like a vapor spray on the ocean--fresh and barely there. Cantu started her career in Southern California (before relocating to her current home in Boston), and some of that leisurely West Coast nonchalance clearly stuck. Her East Coast life brought her into contact with alterna-Goddesses Tegan & Sara, and some of their sharp melodicism is apparent here on tracks such as the smart and sunny "Saturday" (on which Tegan contributes a backup vocal). Later, a duskier mood settles in, set off by Cantu's hazy yet expressive tone. Whether fighting through a layer of reverb on the spare "Blood Laughs" or putting a spark into the slow build of "My First War," her vocal versatility gives the record an alluring glow. In fact her voice is so clearly up to the task, you keep wishing she'd loosen up a little musically. Then again, it's refreshing in a way to hear a debut that doesn't scream "look at me!" with all its might. Cantu should have plenty of people looking anyway. –Matthew Cooke

This album is great. I have seen her in concert and also have her first(?) EP Blood Laughs. This music will reach right into you. Go to her website and see if she is playing near you. Also, you Tegan and Sara fans will appreciate Tegan making an appearance on one track. You will love this if you have a heart. If you just love mindless junk, maybe not.

She has a voice that reaches in and makes your soul vibrate. Another artist that does that is Susie Suh. Give her a listen.

This CD is amazing. Rachael's sound is addictive. The music she writes is so heartfelt and haunting. This is the best CD I've heard in so long and it's such a relief to know that there are still great musicians out there. If you're going to buy any CD this year, buy this one.
