Our Pick : Genevieve Fisher - Without Borders (2010)

Artist—Genevieve Fisher
Song—Some Letter that you Wrote me
Album—Without Borders (2010)
Label—Independent

Turn to any country based music radio station or tv video station and you’ll see there is a nice population of very talented, youthful ladies singing some fresh, catchy and memorable music. Genevieve Fisher is a teenaged young girl from Ontario who seems to have it all figured out pretty early in her music career. A good backing band with great guitar riffs that only emphasize the vocal melodies, similar to what one used to expect from rock and roll hits. Fisher is a song siren that will have you rocking to the opening cut of her cd with “Make You Want To” showing immediately that she has some punch to go with that traditional country twang and ballads. And though it seems hard to believe a young person like Fisher could have a lot of experience in love and life, her songs all are presented as a seasoned singer.

The song “Some Letter That You Wrote Me” is proof enough. On songs like This Is Me Leaving, clearly she’s having a lot of fun with a healthy attitude as she blows off some underachieving relationship. But with only 6 songs on this disc, every song is a strong addition to showcase Fisher’s vocal talents and great grasp of musical timing that makes one performer just a bit more exciting that another.

One can only wait patiently for a full length album which hopefully isn’t a long wait. Fisher is one music artist that should soon be at the top of the country charts if she isn’t on some already. She’s got it all. Catchy guitar riffs, dancing fiddles and a whole lot of lovable girl next door class. Anyone familiar with country trends knows that Canada has been a singular source for new country trends and Fisher confirms that’s not changing soon. Only 6 songs? Play it again. And again.
