With an ethereal voice and a pop-rock groove Whitney Steele will soon be breaking out of the southwest and into radio station rotation across the country.
Each of the six tracks on the page display both her vocal range and penchant for well written lyrics.
The songs are well produced and allow a glimpse into her soul.
Do not think of her as just another pop artist, she has tremendous promise and passion for her art of songwriting.
On Crazy, Steele graces us with a haunting vocal, almost eerie in its delivery.
The lyrics are a pointed explanation to someone who clearly does not understand her and Steele has no trouble telling them so.
This song is relatable; she shows maturity realized after moving on from the thick of a former situation where the other person can not seem to get over it.
The pop-rock vibe of the music perfectly punctuates the story.
With a rawer, breathy voice, Storm Warning gives a different glimpse into Steele's past.
Acoustic guitar and keyboard in high key compliments her voice on this formulaic track.
Her lyrics are a bit more predictable on but that talent for rhyming greatly increases the chances this song could become a hit.
It is easy to learn but does not grow tiresome after a few listens.
Where Did You Go and Time I Go are both ballads that put a heavy focus on Steele's beautiful voice as opposed to the music.
She shows slightly differing styles on both; WDYG is more mellow featuring acoustic guitar and emotional lyrics while TIG is done in more of a pop power ballad style with electronic drum beats and heavy up into the chorus.
WDYG could easily become a radio hit; she shows true vulnerability in her words "I think you'll regret it, I feel so pathetic 'cuz I got the things I don't deserve" and with her soft fade out the listener is left feeling her pain.
Movie Star Acoustic is the stand out track on her page showcasing piano and Steele's own voice like a high key in perfect tune.
She pushes pop aside in her lyrics and delivery of them for a song that gives real, raw feeling of melancholy and dreams left behind on the way to stardom.
An immediate visual of a ballerina dancing alone on an almost dark stage prevails while listening to this track.
This song is a sure hit for her; if readers want to purchase just one track this is the one.
Steele frequently shows a child-like vulnerability in her voice as if she is young and experiencing her first longing for lost loves, but none showcases it as prominently as Stumble.
This song is regret set to music, her sense of loss clearly conveyed to the listener.
With the innocence in her voice listeners will just want to give her a big hug at the end of this song.
Steele begins touring heavily around the southwest region of the country beginning in late June.
People in this area should immediately get out and see her live performance.
For those who can not, pick up her delicate songs on iTunes, Rhapsody or directly through her MySpace page.
