One of my favorite artists, Paula Cole, is finally back with a new album! Ithaca is her fifth studio release, and this time around she wrote and co-produced all the songs (something she hadn’t done since 1999’s Amen) I had a chance to listen to it earlier this week and it’s really solid (and better than her previous 2007 album Courage) I’ve been a huge fan since 1994 when I saw her open for Melissa Etheridge (she’s amazing live!) and her 1996 album This Fire – is one of my tops – she scored a huge hit with Where Have All The Cowboys Gone plus it garnered her a Grammy Award for ‘Best New Artist’ back in 1998! Catch Paula below talking about life and her new highly personal album! Popbytes over and out for now … xoxo!
