CHANTAL KREVIAZUK - Under These Rocks And Stones
(Columbia)
Release Date: 3/6/97
Review: Angel Bennett
(July 31, 1997)
Another young Canadian has delivered quite a fresh debut, but unlike the
grating, nasal rantings of Ms. Morrisette, Kreviazuk's songs are so packed
full of sincere emotion and clarity that one might at first mistake it for
Christian Rock?!! "Under These Rocks and Stones" calls to mind Rickie Lee
Jones, or maybe even Joan Osborne. With the success of this year's Lillith
Fair, it's obvious that sound of a female singer/songwriter is more
popular than ever. Perhaps there is even an overload of such artists. Luckily,
Kreviazuk's crystalline voice refuses to be lost in the din. On the
thoughtful, yet pop-ish "Surrounded" she sings; "don't you lose sight of
me now." After hearing her album there's no way you'd want to lose sight of
her. She's definitely one to watch.
