Sarah Perrotta is a singer/song-writer out of Hudson Valley, New York. I assume she found me after I had done a post on Quitzow. Perrotta was part of a band Outland Dreamer. She currently plays with Tony Levin and Garth Hudson two rock veterans.

Perrotta has toured with the Barenaked Ladies, Sarah Harmer and Jason Collett some pretty notable Canadian musicians. I think Harmer is a great comparison as a start. Like other female singer song writers it’s hard not to make comparisons to the typical singers and I’ll refrain from listing any more.

Perrotta has a great voice with her backing band not afraid to try interesting yet subtle arrangements with the accordion, bass etc. Otherwise Perrotta’s attraction is her voice and her song writing. The Well starts off kind of slow with “Out of Grace” but it picks up the pace and becomes a perfect love song.

I’m still trying to figure out the rest of the album to be honest. It was pressed into action with my laptop still down and I just received this album to review in the mail. The constants being that the music is very relaxing and with Sarah’s beautiful soothing voice I can see myself falling asleep to it. To be fair I don’t see myself getting past the first track though I can safely say there’s a lot to like already though even though I don’t complete like certain songs.

I would say I like Into Bloom and Midnight Lullaby as well but otherwise I wouldn’t be able to name some songs off the top of my head.

I find myself a little bit bored of the tracks but I’m definitely willing to fault my personal tastes on this as I’m more of a rock lover and it’s not like I’m expecting metal guys to enjoy something like this, it won’t happen. It’s more Adult Contemporary, something that I believe would be a great fit on some radio stations (and AC is still pretty good, tons of guilty pleasures there for me).

Rating: 3.75 or Incomplete. I didn’t really have much to say but hopefully I painted enough of a picture. Definitely check out “Out of Grace” if anything since that’s an awesome track.

This album was self released so check out her website on details on where to buy her album.
