White, Amelia

Black Doves

Amelia White is a singer-songwriter currently living and working in Nashville. But don't get let that fool you - she's no hat act. The self-proclaimed "crazy, big-haired tomboy's" new CD, BLACK DOVES, is filled with poppy hooks, alternately twanging and scorching guitars, rich and pliant harmonies riding Amelia's sweetly gritty, pretty vocals, plus keys, bass, drums and electronic loops played with an appreciative flourish by seasoned pros. Although this record might be a Nashville project in many ways - considering, for example, the fantastic musicianship, crack songwriting and production, and "country music" underpinnings you'll find here - also present is an unexpected element. Informed as much by Hank Williams as by Tom Petty, Amelia White's music has been called "lush independent pop" and "ambient folk-rock." BLACK DOVES also mines a vein of pop-infused alt-country that hearkens to the "Everly Brothers meet the Buckaroos" hits of 80s Nashville duo Foster & Lloyd.
