Editor's Review:
A warning to Strawberry Vale: Unless you harbor a serious desire to be sampled by Eminem, you'd be wise to stop making such luscious, pretty pop songs. The Victoria, B.C., artist sings with a whispery delivery reminiscent of previous Eminem samplee Dido, while adding her own ethereal electronic touches.

"Strawberry Vale is a real revelation. The production is warm and intimate (which is exactly what you need with a voice like that). The song writing is wonderfully straightforward and refreshing, with very direct lyrics that are both meaningful and commercial. I love it!
What is it about Canadian music? Everywhere I go on the web I keep coming across brilliant Canadian music. I'm gonna check out the rest of those links and revel in some more great stuff."

"You are an extraordinary talent with the rare gift of being able to write songs that dig deep into the heart of the public conscience...." "....I truly see you as an artist to be reckoned with out there in this world"
Alannah Myles - Alannah Myles, International Grammy and multiple Juno award winning artist
Whether Strawberry Vale's quill will find her ultimate home in the singer-songwriter community or on adult-contempo radio will be largely a matter of production choice. With her feathery vocals and feel for a ballad, the future lies in Ogden's own hands.

Strawberry Vale is headed up by singer/songwriter Lisa Ogden who's song "Out of your Mind" recently landed in the list of 5 finalists in the Peavey 40th Anniversary song contest, and her song and off the floor performance of "What in the World" (aka Broken Like Mine) won her free recording time at Victoria's SeaCoast Sound studio with engineer Rick Erickson (Rocktoria Producer).
As a songwriter, Lisa's style varies from pop, blues, funk, to roots and the occasional hint of country.
