Man, I really like Erin's voice and performance. Thanks for sharing.
That's interesting about how you tune the edge off, either mentally or by EQ. In that track, I didn't need to, but that's me.
When I mentioned Bjork, in the Homegenic album, I had to do the same thing with some of the purposeful distortion - used as in instrument in itself - , which initially I found distracting, but I got it as part of her message. So I'll temper my use of the word "masterpiece", because she is a self-admitted "POP" artist. In this case, it is truly a "pop-masterpiece".
So whether its Erin Bode, Joan Jett, or Etta James et al, we need to keep providing that avenue to just let it all out, no matter what "genre" lets them spread their wings and fly...
