Emily Wells - The Symphonies: Dreams Memories & Parties (2008)

'Very honest', 'very different' and 'very impressive' are all phrases I'd use to describe this piece of music, which was the end result of this girl, Emily Wells, having rejected major labels due to their restrictions on her creative freedom. She wrote, recorded and produced this all by her lonesome, but you shouldn't mistake it for an amateur-y mixtape deal; the sound is really crisp, and all the many layers of sound fit together perfectly to create what seems to be a "Fiddler On The Roof"-sounding, danceable set of sweet-but-authentic words and beats. Also, all the track names rhyme- cute!!
