Release Notes:
You have to keep reminding yourself that 2001 newcomer Michelle Branch is only
17 years old when listening to her worthy pop/rock debut The Spirit Room. The
11-track set showcases this precocious artist on guitar (electric and acoustic)
and a substantial vocal presence that blends innocence, passion, vulnerability,
yearning, intensity, and tenderness all in one voice. She also has a knack for
crafting melodic vocal leads, which further define her infectious sound.
However, what truly shines through are the young musician's lyrics -- she
handles much of the songwriting -- which are some of the most open, simple, and
idealistic ruminations on love to drop in 2001. It's no surprise that the disc's
first single release, the lively and heartfelt "Everywhere" -- with its
electric-guitar power chords, spirited vocal delivery, and catchy chorus --
spread like wildfire on the radio. Elsewhere, the sugary mid-tempo rock ballad
"You Get Me" is an endearing and clever spin on the romantic pairing of two
misfits. There's nothing more fulfilling and powerful than having the
unconditional understanding, acceptance, and love of another, particularly for
those a bit "left of center," as the song explains, and Branch well captures the
essence of this life treasure. The album's most captivating moment is the
mesmerizing "Drop in the Ocean," which, to be sure, symbolizes Branch's Spirit
Room. On it her voice, backed by slow and building synth chords, departs from
its usual energetic sound and becomes throaty, deep, and ethereal. And Branch's
lyrics -- "Love took me by the hand/love took me by surprise/love led me to
you/and love opened up my eyes/I was drifting away like a drop in the ocean, now
I realize/that nothing has been as beautiful as when I saw heaven's skies/in
your eyes" -- take the musical depiction of love to a spiritual level, and that
doesn't happen often in contemporary pop/rock, particularly not by a 17 year
old. Of note is producer John Shanks' (Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, and
BBMak, among others) great mix; textured backing vocals and overdubs, and a
creative use of drum machines, modern beat sounds, and turntables set to a
backdrop of rock music, puts a fresh spin on the genre. No doubt, Branch is an
artist with a bright future, and that's lucky for music listeners. She has
enough spirit to fill not just one room, but many.
