Audrey Auld Mezera - Fallen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Don't mistake the title of Audrey Auld's Come Find Me as any kind of shy retreat. Call it what she does an Inchinvitation.Inch InchCome find me, come find me, I want to be found,Inch she offers on the album's winsome opening waltz, then seals the deal with an offer hard to refuse InchYou're welcome to glorious me.Inch She sings it sweetly, but with a flirty flash of unmistakable, cocky cheek almost a dare, really, as befits a fiercely independent artist who's been self-releasing albums for more than a decade now under the tell all banner of InchReckless Records.Inch Simply put, Audrey Auld does not do coy.

Not surprisingly, she calls working with Hallman long on her list of dream producers Incha dream come true.Inch InchIt was the happiest time I've ever had recording,Inch Auld continues. InchNo stress, no problems. I wanted to focus on the performance and work with someone who would get the best out of me, and we wanted to make
