Alana Davis' debut Blame It On Me delves deep into themes of non-conformity and individualism, presented largely as jazzy lullabies. Though Davis has confessed to not being very hip to the sorority of modern vocalists, she opens the record with a reworking of Ani DiFranco's "32 Flavors." But Davis is no elder stateswoman, either. At 23, the New Yorker is just coming into her own, and the subject matter of her songs shows an artist with a youthful perspective - "The weight of the world has fallen/ and the rubble is at my feet," she sings on The Weight of the World" - even though she has the voice of someone twice her age. It's almost as if she's out to assert her unique place in the circuit of singer-songwriters by returning to the heart and soul that made them so popular in the first place. --Nick Heil

I bought this without ever hearing Alana before and I am very happy I did. If you are looking for new artist's you won't be dissappointed.

Almost ten years after its original release and I still play -- and sing along with -- every song on the CD.

alana davis' music is so full of life, entertaining (as what they're supposed to be) but you'd definitely never tire from listening to it.

Promising Debut

The songs on Davis' album are as diverse as her referenced "32 Flavors." A personal work, the album allows listeners to walk alongside Davis as she makes her emotional journeys and transformations. The album content is diverse and it reveals the multi-faceted aspects of Davis's heart and mind. This is a promising debut from the singer/songwriter; her future projects will have high expectations.

Alana Davis' 'Blame It On Me' was a very enjoyable cd that I am glad to add in my collection. I am surprised that I haven't heard much about her until recently. The girl gots some soul! She has a very soothing yet sometimes throaty pitch to her voice. Everytime I hear her music it takes me back to my college days when I frequented open mic night at various dives, heard an unknown artist and walked away with the summation, "That kids got talent! I think they'll make it!"
