Her sultry and exquisite psychedelic soul is contemporary pop's best-kept secret, a landscape where quiet storms hover and glide over endless fields of deep, funky hooks. But with the release of Blueberry's self-titled debut on Sundazed's Euphoria! imprint, it's a secret that won't remain so for much longer. Blueberry is Snyder's ongoing "band" concept, a project that has released three previous albums on her own label and makes music best described as the sound of Erykah Badu, Prince, and Donovan making sweet love to Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and Roxy Music's Avalon. Composed and performed in an all-analog setting using Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, analog organs, live horns, and vintage drum machines, Blueberry features a guest appearance by Soul Asylum main man Dave Pirner and pairs the warm, classic sound of of Snyder's timeless influences with a decidedly modern sensibility--and puts pretty much anything else on the current pop radar to shame. Just surrender your ears to the loping, neo-soul groove of "Fickle," the coy, Burt Bacharach-tinged "I Adore You," or the brass-blasting dance-floor mover "Grubby Wire," and Blueberry will be bumping, thumping, and grooving its way to the top of your best-of-2008 list quicker than you can yell get down!
