New Vanessa Carlton: Nolita Fairytale

Ms. Carlton’s back on the scene with her new album, Heroes & Thieves, to be released Oct 9. “Nolita Fairytale” is the first single off the album (I think “Lolita Fairytale” would have made a more interesting track). When asked about the song, Carlton says: “Nolita is a place in New York where I lived. It is north of Little Italy. It is about my life there and the series of revelations I have had over the past few years.”

Anyway, I always feel like I should dislike Vanessa, and I don’t even know why. Something about her as a person just bothers me. But, truth be told, I usually really like her music, and this single is no exception. She’s different somehow, with a sound that always manages to sound fresh and young.
