Eileen Rose - Doesn't Mean A Thing (Evangeline Records)

Championed by Bob Harris on Radio 2, Eileen Rose is emerging as one of the US's top female artists at the moment. 'Doesn't Mean A Thing' is taken from her fourth album At Our Table, marking her breakthrough into the mainstream.

With a voice that sounds like a creamy cup of hot chocolate, mixed with a sprinkle of acoustic and electric guitar that resonates through the soul like that first throat-burning sip, Eileen serves up a song of lost love, full of swagger, resilience, and brilliance.

Beginning with a beautifully slow intro, it blossoms into the epic chorus before gracefully mellowing out. Her voice is full of grit and power, which compliments the electric guitars perfectly, taking influences from the likes of Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks.

Whilst it may not appeal directly to the commercial music industry, (let's face it, songs that are as mature and alternative as this never make it to the top of the UK Top 40), for those who love and respect the independent scene, full of rich material such as this, it's an essential addition to any music lover's catalogue, and a good solid taster of her album.

Smooth as cream, yet warm as a cup of coffee, 'Doesn't Mean A Thing' is a very tasty little number.

Rating: 5/5

Eileen Rose - At Our Tables (Evangeline)
To make an impression in the female singer/songwriter genre you have to do something truly original, but At Our Tables simply doesn't deliver.

Eileen Rose - Doesn't Mean A Thing (Evangeline Records)
Warm and fuzzy, yet so smooth and mellow, Eileen Rose has forged a strong link between indie and country. Pure expresso brilliance.
