CD Review: Danielle Antonio - Elements

Danielle Antonio definitely has the DIY spirit. Starting out as a singer/songwriter in Denver, CO in 2001, Danielle Antonio has built a library of songs and a score of experiences. 2006 was a watermark year for Ms. Antonio. In that year she relocated to Brooklyn, NY to try to make it in the Big Apple, and also released her debut CD, Elements.

Elements displays a love of rock and roll, 60's era Motown and 1970's soul. Elements is interesting, at times exciting and mostly successful. "Hold A Candle" could have walked right off a Phil Spector record, and "Hurricane" is a soulful rocker that in itself makes this a worthwhile purchase. "Stringing Me Along" builds on a strong blues/soul riff and a quasi-disco beat to make a great party/dance song.

Other highlights include the straightforward "Caught In A Landslide", the bluesy "Got No Go" and "Shadows Of The Moon", which has a bit of a country twang to it. Overall this is an excellent album and all indications point to a bright musical future for Danielle Antonio. Check out Elements -- you won't be disappointed. - Wildy's World

Bio

Danielle's powerful and authentic pop/rock sound combines all the elements of rock/blues/jazz roots music matched with mindfully crafted lyrics. It's old skool meets new skool -- earthy yet modern, energetic yet composed, and original yet comfortably familiar. Danielle's early exposure to jazz standards, blues, early rock, 70s melodies, 80s new wave, and the 90s indie movement has all shaped and colored her musical palette. She leads her performances from behind the keyboard, and her live shows definitely live up to studio recordings. She has been performing with an original band since 2001 (in the Denver/Boulder area), and relocated to NYC in 2006, where she currently lives. Her first original CD, "Elements" was entirely written, recorded and produced by herself and sells at ITUNES and CD Baby. She is currently working on her second CD.
