4.0 out of 5 stars A solid EP to hold us fans until the new album, March 25, 2008

By	eric_f (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

I, along with millions of others, became an instant fan of Anna Nalick with her Wreck of the Day album. Anna is definitely an artist who has quite a lot to offer with her music, and any fan will be psyched that we have this new Shine EP from her.

The title track is simply fantastic, with a hint of country while not diverging from the style we've come to know from Anna. The acoustic version is just as nice. Of course, the (pleasant) surprise here is a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Breaking the Girl." Anna strips down this song to just an acoustic guitar and it's interesting to hear a female perspective on it. Very nicely done. I have to say that I'm not too crazy about acoustic versions of "Breathe (2 a.m.)" and "Wreck of the Day" being included here. These songs are spectacular, don't get me wrong. It's just that most, if not all, fans will have already heard them. I think a couple of live songs, or perhaps b-sides, would have made this a perfect EP.

Overall, this Shine EP is a great treat to hold us fans until Anna's new album. Think of it as a tasty appetizer before the main course. It's certainly priced right, not to mention the beautiful photo of Anna on the cover (as usual).

I have her prior album and prefer the acoustic tracks on this EP. I think the acoustic format fits her talents better.

This review is from: Shine EP (MP3 Download)

...but where's the new album? Its been over a year since this was released. What's going on with Anna's career.Well Shine is excellent and if we can get more of that would be great. According to wikipedia her second album is in the vaults so when's the release date? Her website seems abandoned-has Anna been dropped?
