Synopsis

Album Description
Assured & passionate - just like its creator - this is an album that sees Carly join the ranks of New Zealand's musical elite. Schooled in opera singing, but with a personality that suggested a career in that straitlaced world wasn't for her, Carly first emerged in New Zealand's hugely successful televised answer to the late 90s girl group pop phenomenon, True Bliss. Their meteoric rise to fame & chart success burnt True Bliss out quickly but provided a taste & inspiration for Carly to begin her own songwriting career beyond the group. 2002 saw the release of her debut single, 'Alright With Me', a New Zealand top 10 hit. Carly also proved her live chops & adaptability playing support to acts as diverse as Ronan Keating on his New Zealand tour & Paul Kelly in front of a Melbourne crowd. 2003 has already seen her back in the arenas winning over a Bryan Adams crowd & back in the higher reaches of

Toppermost of the Poppermost
Beavis | UK | 12/12/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first single, "Alright With Me" was a revelation, and I think everyone in New Zealand was looking forward expectantly to the release of this first album which, it must be said, followed in leisurely fashion! Anyone who enjoys good honest melodic pop from artists like The Corrs, Jewel or Dido will love this album, definately deserving of international exposure and sales. Four great singles were derived from this album, "Alright With Me", "We Kissed", "Love Will Save Me" and "This Is It" - hopefully she hasn't burnt out all her creativity on her first album, as judging by this collection Carly has a great deal of potential. www.carlybinding.com has a couple of 30 second audio samples for you, along with videos."

"Carly Binding's long-awaited debut album is nothing short of astonishing, when you consider that she has come such a huge distance since the manufactured commercial pop of True Bliss into the realm of her own songs, which are finely crafted indeed. She's really done it properly here - the muzos are classy, the ensemble tight, with the decent variety of styles making for a great set. In terms of genre, at times she sounds like she's stepped out of one of the more contemporary Nashville studios (I mean this as a compliment!), with subtle references to such greats as Joan Osborne. The songs are comfortable and cruisy, yet still maintain interest to stay in the CD player. The number of hits on the album is likely proof enough that she's on track for further top-notch releases like this, so I look forward to hearing the next one!"
