Today’s blog is reserved for the very interesting and complex Lelia Broussard. Her mystery doesn’t lie in the music, although she does put an intriguing twist on the formulaic female pop singer.
Broussard is a Lousiana native that is doing everything on her own. And by everything, I mean everything. She records albums, and tours the United States solely on the money she makes off of her albums and her website. No record labels, no tour sponsors, nothing.
I stumbled across her cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” on Exclaim.ca (have I plugged them enough yet?) and loved it so much I decided to divulge deeper into her collection, and safe to say, she’s awesome.
She is currently in the running to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and, in my humble opinion, you should vote for her! http://www.rollingstone.com/choosethecover
Her album, Masquerade, is a really fun pop album, with just a hint of dangerous blues that sets a fun tone throughout.
Below is the music video for the album’s really lovable first single “Satellite.” At the bottom is an acoustic version of “Rosie” that I fell in love with as soon as I heard it.
