kc Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Coco Love Alcorn from Vancouver will also be joining Mr. Something Something this Saturday. WooHoo!www.cocolovealcorn.comwww.myspace.com/cocolovealcorn"The young Alcorn... stole the show on more than one occasion, holding the audience by turns spellbound and ecstatic with her powerful range and jazz sensibility. Clearly, she's an artist to watch." -- The Vancouver Sun (54 40 concert review)In the past few years, Coco has been involved in a couple of side projects that have had many song placements on popular American TV shows like USA Network's "The Dead Zone" and Showtime's "The L Word". These shows are currently airing all over the world and have built Coco's name with a growing international audience. The worldwide exposure has also lead to international website sales for both of Coco's indie releases as well as the side projects (www.paloma.com and www.joystick.bz).With the pending release of Coco's long awaited new CD "Sugar", Coco is ready to take her career to another level. Produced by multiple Juno Award winner Steve Dawson (who also contributes his trademark guitar work) and featuring Chris Gestrin (K-os, Kate Hammett-Vaughn) on keys, John Raham (Kinnie Starr, The Be Good Tanya's) on drums and Keith Lowe (Fiona Apple, Bill Frisell) on standup bass, Sugar is a remarkably assured work from an artist who's time has truly come. Featuring co-writes with Lennie Gallant, Kevin Coles and her father John Alcorn, the album is a delightfully nuanced, down tempo gem that leaves plenty of room for Coco's spectacular voice to shine. Focusing on themes of love, angels and the power within, the album is masterfully wrought by Dawson and will no doubt draw comparisons to the work of other Canadian female luminaries such as Jane Siberry, Holly Cole and k.d. lang. Sugar is slated for official release in the summer of 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
