Recover from your holiday with some great local music - Brooke Annibale Nov 29 - The Center of Harmony

http://thecenterofharmony.com/event/brooke-annibale-concert/

Pittsburgh Native Singer-songwriter Brooke Annibale’s new EP, Words in Your Eyes, showcases a rising talent in the midst of an intriguing transition. The EP features less of the acoustic folk pop sound that has appeared on her previous releases—particularly on her stunning 2011 full-length release, Silence Worth Breaking, whichStereo Subversion called “phenomenal,” and Glide Magazine hailed as “the kind of record that some artists wait their whole lives to make”—and focuses instead on an electric sound mixed with ambient sensibilities and lots of orchestration. Some of the tracks were written during the Silence sessions, and while they did not make the final cut for that record they still help this EP feel even more like a transition from the Silence era to whatever she has in mind next. And as Annibale admits, there is plenty on her mind these days.

“Music is my ultimate passion in life. It’s really the only thing I ever see myself doing for the rest of my life,” Annibale says. “It’s always been the way I process what’s going on in my life and express what I’m experiencing. I don’t think there’s really any better way to express myself or relate to other people than through music. It’s just really powerful.”

So while Words in Your Eyes marks a transition for Annibale in terms of her sound and acts as a bridge from Silence Worth Breaking to whatever lies ahead, her devotion to songwriting remains ever the same. Words in Your Eyes is a masterful release from an artist whose career is only just beginning.
