The Cute Girl

Skyler Stonestreet. My first impression was just a cute, almost too pop-singer trying to be unique with her image. But after listening to more than just “Heartbreak”, I’ve discovered Skyler’s music is quite intriguing. Her lyrics are honest and the way she sings is so innocent. Her songs are crafted like personal stories, some happy some sad, all whimsical vocals and punchy guitar and piano parts.

She comes from Santa Barbara, an unsigned artist who it still on her way to making it big in the indie/pop music business. She seems young and naïve in her image and as an artists, but in a beautiful way. She sings of heartbreak, of having fun, or being young and in love. Her music is similar to Regina Spektor, Kate Nash, Ingrid Michelson and Mindy Gledhill.

She has only a few youtube videos up and when you search her, you simply get her myspace and youtube fan page: http://www.myspace.com/skylerstonestreet . She  keeps her fans up to date with quirky and fun updates. She recently wrote a song for the charity Bring Me Hope based on an excerpt from a volunteer, You can check out their website and a preview of her song here: http://bringmehope.org/sounddelivery.html

If you like those artists mentioned earlier you will love Skyler Stonestreet, it only took a few songs for me to love and appreciate her music. She has a modern edge to her indie/pop/acoustic music, and although you may not have heard of her before, I wouldn’t doubt that she becomes very popular in the next few years.
