Hello everyone! I’m sorta new to this forum, so I wanted to say introduce myself, say hello and Happy Holidays! My name is Christy, and I am a fanatic of all kinds/styles of music. I love discovering new music on the web. I just can't get enough of it! Is anyone else into new artists? I'm especially drawn to music that has a sweet melody, moving lyrics, and is soothing to hear - mostly acoustic females/singer-songwriter stuff. There's one artist in particular I'm really fond of these days and her name is Shauna Burns. Anyone ever heard of her by chance? She's kinda new and sounds like the new Tori Amos but with her own unique style. Her music is very moving, inspirational, and beautiful with her piano playing and clever lyrics. I just got Shauna’s new EP “Desert Tune,” so I thought I’d tell y’all about it! She also sounds a bit like Sarah McLachlan, Loreena McKennitt and Kate Bush, which I find is a real nice cross mix! I’m digging this CD! Take a listen to “I’m Dirty” or her song of the month "December" from the new EP on Shauna’s MySpace www.myspace.com/shaunaburns! I'd love to know what everyone else thinks and what music everyone else is into these days. Peace!
Hey all. I just found this, and thought it was cool enough to share. It talks about Shauna, her new EP, and the way she feels about music! Shauna Burns developed her delicate vocals and striking piano while growing up in Miami, Florida. Shauna derived inspiration from her mother's love for the piano. Shauna’s songwriting skills prospered and when she went off to college, her music found fans that were enthusiastic and appreciative of the artistry they heard. Every Thought was the Shauna Burns debut release in 2006. The recording received rave reviews followed by successful sales. Her 2007 follow-up EP release entitled Desert Tune is an engaging five song EP that captures the spirit and warmth of Shauna’s hypnotic vocals and temperate piano playing. The tracks are clever while playful, in accord with her nature of being personal and captivating. Shauna and her piano are once again joined by co-producer and drummer James Clark, Ryan Tilby on guitar and bass with Steve Lemmon on guitar. Shauna spent some time residing in the desert before recording the EP and the listener benefits from that journey while listening to the music. Shauna explains her songwriting philosophy as, "It can start with just a feeling, that seed in your stomach that grows until you cannot ignore it anymore. I feel the need to cultivate and nurture these seeds because seeds can grow into big ideas if we take care. It makes me question: What's next for all of us in this world? What is the universe trying to tell us? I’m listening." Finding inspiration in the world around her is what Shauna Burns is all about and it is no wonder her songs have such feeling and depth.
