Singer/songwriter with passionate vocals and rich lyrics, often compared to Annie Lennox and Joni Mitchell, combines pop and acoustic rock with a dash of soul, a pinch of jazz and a hint of retro flavor.
Bio / Background
This debut album by Barbara McDonald is already attracting a lot of media attention with airplay on both sides of the Atlantic, due in no small part to her warm, powerful, yet tender and sensuous voice.
"Electronic Karma" was pick of the day for International Women's Day on WXPN (Philadelphia, PA) the originators of "World Cafe," while "I Never Lived This Day Before" has attracted BBC airplay in the UK, placed in the Billboard Songwriting Contest, and held it's place among the top 40 on the MP3.com's SOUL charts for many months.
Tom Lounges, editor of Midwest Beat Magazine, has described "Madmen & Lovers" as "interesting, relaxing but never a 'snoozer'" and has said, "if this CD were vinyl I would have worn it out by now!"
Co-written by McDonald and her British songwriting partner, John Perkins (who writes under the pen-name of Macdona), this album is unique in its varied sound and style, emphasizing melody and lyrics from a fluent songwriting team.
