Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

The honeyed rasp of Massachusetts native Amy Correia is the perfect vehicle for the sharp melodic sense and captivating imagery that's on display throughout her debut. Highlighted by the endlessly striking likes of "Daydream Car" and "The Bike," Carnival Love introduces a performer with an intriguing future. --Rickey Wright


Amazon.com

In an era of ethereal female singer-songwriters, Amy Correia's Carnival Love marks the arrival of a talent whose concerns are rooted in the earthly. In a voice that at once conveys a sense of both itch and scratch--and often accompanied, Waits-like, by her own baritone ukelele--this East Coaster delivers tales of damaged people (the devastated Korean War vets of "Chinatown" and "The Bike," the grownup "crying in a company car" in "Angels Collide") and dented romance ("Gin," "Starfishin'"). Even Correia's moments of escape and whimsy are fully grounded; "Daydream Car" acknowledges that hanging out is a game best played by two, while "Carnival" updates "Wild Billy's Circus Story." Correia is outstanding in a crowded field. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Voice and Songwriter, December 22, 2000
By Alan Goldsmith (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
I caught Amy C. opening for John Hiatt in Ann Arbor back in October and was floored by her voice and her humor. This CD highlights both. Usually singers who write about heartbreak AND paint little pictures of day-to-day life (their Chinatown neighborhood, an old bike passed along after an uncle's death, etc.)fail at one or the other. Correia is successful at both. She can sing about a perfect day ala a religious awakening, a horrible day when love fell apart OR what happened this morning while she was walking down a city street and it all falls perfectly into place. There's always a sense of hope, a sense of humor and a sense this is a real life being put into song. But the voice...It's emotional and raw but with this amazing technical control that takes your breath away. We all know how most pop music is show biz and detached from the 'real' but with Amy Correia, both live and on this cd, you just get this urge to invite her out for coffee, introduce her to your friends or whatever because her music is so REAL. This cd is a most for everyone who thought it wasn't possible for pop music to be real anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carnival Love, November 5, 2003
By Laurie Berger (Piedmont, CA) - See all my reviews
I am so absolutely amazed by Amy Correia!!! I was given this cd as a gift and it sat unlistened to on my shelf for at least a month until i had nothing to do and decided to give it a try. Every song - EVERY ONE - is affecting and soulful, and I can't stop playing the entire cd over and over again! I am so amazed by her beautiful lyrics and talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, wise, soulful & sweet. Correia is a wonderful talent, July 2, 2001
By janeyb "janeyb" (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
I bought this CD immediately after seeing Amy Correia open for Richard Thompson in Boston. The songs as performed on the stage (where she was accompanied by a cellist) and on the CD are really wonderful.

"Life is beautiful", with its simple melody and optimistic lyrics is a delightful antidote to some of the overwrought songs you can find on the radio. "Day dream car" is blues-y and fun - Correia's ukulele is surprisingly effective, and the more conventional guitar accompaniment fleshes out a song where her soulful voice shines. "Gin" is moody and evocative as she tells the story of loneliness leading to drinking leading to waking up in a stranger's bed.

Throughout the broad range of themes Correia explores, her music captures the mood and her straightforward lyrics express complicated situations - be it coming of age, love or loss. This CD is a wonderful addition for anyone with a passion for thoughtful, funky, slightly folky pop - it's sandwiched between my Lyle Lovett and Fiona Apple CDs. Highly Recommended!
