Recent reviews: The City Paper Nashville, Tenn. http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com Music City Muse Local talents release fabulous new CDs Carrie Mills Looking Through Windows (Brooklyngirl Records) With the opening track, "Dance for a Dollar", Carrie Mills debut EP Looking Through Windows wafts into your consciousness like the scent of a woman. Mills' pop craft is refreshingly different from most of what Nashville's local music scene is producing these days. Stylistically, the CD ranges from the latin-tinged flavors to the sultry island grooves of Sade before making radical turns towards "Mama" era Genesis. Carrie's talent as a singer and songwriter make this CD the sonic success that it is. Carrie's songwriting is subtly brilliant and her vocals at times haunting, other times penetrating. Some of the more outstanding tracks are the jazzy nylon-string guitar driven "Need to Forget," with acoustic textures reminiscent of Pat Metheny, and the dramatic The Police-sounding "Memories (Love Again)." Along with the pop-influences are the Middle Eastern tinged "Nuieba (Pita! Pita!)" and the a capella-opening title track that closes out the disc. Top to bottom, this disc is a solid effort worth picking up. - Drew Walen " - The City Paper Nashville, TN

"Current Plowhaus artist and former New Yorker Carrie Mills debut CD Looking Through Windows is now down at Spun. A mix of a poets observational lyrics with atmospheric echoing guitars, acoustic harmonics and ethnic percussion, Mills voice floats above it all with a Maura OConnell/Mary Black Irish lilt. My CD is available at Borders West End and Grimeys or by contacting me. Tim Buchanan aka DJ Spun - Spun Records

Bio
My music is primarily about the song.
My influences are eclectic and far reaching across all genres of music.
What sets my band apart is it's simple line up and combination of instruments.
I am originally from NYC. I've performed across Europe. I was featured in the documentary series...Rap to Rock as an upcoming artist. I have had numerous lyrics published in Sheila Davis's songwriting books. I've been the recipient of numerous awards including Musician Magazine's best of unsigned band and Billboard Magazine's songwriting contest and have for many years running received ASCAP songwriter awards.
