Brandnewmusic new **'Artist of the Week'**
We Say:"What's Wrong with That" sees Thompson "turning
into my mother" with intelligent observations and poppy harmonies
reminiscent of the Bangles. With "Charlie" Thompson weaves a
touching tale of heartbreak. An undeniably captivating voice and an ability
to move effortlessly from poppy synth-aided tunes, to stripped back piano
ballads. You'll Like her if.....What you¹re after is toe-tapping
folk from an insightful singer songwriter. The Rickie Lee Jones-style
vocals double the pleasure!

If you love Tori Amos' voice, but prefer lighter Natalie Imbruglia material
as done by a complete unknown, this set by Lindsey Thompson might be what
you're after. "Woman Who Can Be" is Tori for the mass audience,
with lyrics universal: think Karyn White "superwoman" stuff.
It's followed by "Charlie", which takes the music of Elton John
and adds sentiments that sober AA folkies like to dish out. "Got
To Give" is as catchy as anything Ellis Paul has ever written, and
is among the best pure pop songs I've heard this year. I sung along and
simply let its melody smotherme. Songs like "Time Won't Wait"
and "Common Knowledge", which boasts a nice piano opening, are
catchy little buggers, and should be covered by any Saturday teen sitcom
band during its "serious-issue"

A fairly new talent to grace the by-now rather threadbare Kashmir rug
(we wish!) is lindsey thompson. lindsey has a huge voice, with a lot of
horsepower in reserve. "It all makes sense" could not have been
more appropriate given the venue; Pure White Satin boasted an unusual
bass note piano intro, one of a number of felicitous touches that betray
the songwriting nouse behind lindsey's tunes.
