The One. The Only. Alisabeth.

I'm going to go ahead and do a review of my good friend Alisabeth's  new album, My Foolish Heart.
This album was released in August of 2014 and has taken Cedar Rapids by storm. She had a debut concert at Brucemore's Calbert in the Courtyard, which was sold out almost immediately. From there Alisabeth has done a few more performances in Cedar Rapids and has also released two new music videos off of her new album, Sleeze and I'm Just Not. I will provide links now if you're interested in checking them out, which I suggest you do.

Alisabeth takes her unique sound and put her heart and soul into this new album with touching ballads and potential radio hits. Right off the bat your ears are flooded with a pop/punk type sound with Sleeze and Satisfy Me. The two are bound to be radio hits, catchy sound and lyrics pull you in. From there we take on a few ballads which you can tell she has poured her heart and soul into. What's fun if you ever have the opportunity to see Alisabeth live, she tells a story before each one of her songs, and where the ideas came from. Interesting enough a lot of the music was written in her car in various parking lots.

While I love her pop/punk sound, I feel the album strays away from that are really focuses on her ballads. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I feel she should stick to a more upbeat sounds to keep the crowed dancing through the night. I feel she is sort of stuck on which direction she wants to go, but I know once she chooses what music style she wants to stick with, she's going to own the world.

I don't want to go into too much detail over the album, even though I said I was doing a full length review, because well, I want you to go out and BUY IT! Local artist, support her and her work and check it out on iTunes. It will be worth it, I promise.

Props to you, my friend! Work what you got, Girl!
