There are times in life when our feelings are so raw, when emotion runs so deep, that were overwhelmed by their magnitude. When such unspeakable heartache and immeasurable joy consumed musician/singer/songwriter Rochelle Bucher, she recorded her emotions for all to hear in her first full-length album, Convince Me.
As the newly released follow-up to her 2003 self-titled vocal/acoustic guitar EP, Convince Me displays the musical prowess of a woman whose quiet spirit belies the strength of her vocals and the wisdom of her lyrics. Rochelle has always felt strongly about Convince Me being the title track, not only because its a commercially strong ballad, but because it embodies the message of so many of the other songs on the album: Convince Me that I can stand on My Own Two Feet (track two), that youll Love Me the Right Way (track seven), that Im Over You (track nine). And this musical treasure trove overflows with seven additional passionate, empowering tracks.
Convince Me was recorded at Dark Horse Studios in Nashville and was co-produced with Nashville singer/songwriter Dan Adams. The album was mixed at Tombstone Recording by Tom Harding, who has lent his expertise to such artists as Deanna Carter, ZZ Top and SHeDAISY. The album was mastered at New York Citys Sterling Studios by Will Quinnell, who has worked with Jewel, Nelly Furtado and Ashley Tisdale.
Rochelle has already received kudos from industry professionals who indicate the vocals on Convince Me are stellar. You have a gift. And, Rochelle's songs have a simple structure, but also a consistency that most industry people want to hear. Shes focused and isnt searching for a style or a flavor-of-the-month sound.
While Rochelle has her own unique sound, many will tell you that her music is reminiscent of Alison Krauss, Sarah McLachlan and Patty Griffin. And just like these artists, Rochelles songs leave you intensely moved and wanting for more.
Those who crave songs with meaning and depth will love this album, says Rochelle, who co-wrote Over You and composed the remaining songs on the album. Its for the thinkers those people who really enjoy delving into lyrics and trying to figure out what the artist is trying to get across. And its also for those who really enjoy listening to music. Even though this album could be described as extremely introspective, there are also some lighter, upbeat songs that just make you want to dance.
