This isn't your 13 year old sister's Mandy Moore...


I have found a new artist, and, yes, her name happens to be Mandy Moore. Okay, so maybe it's just Mandy Moore. But, I swear, Ms. Moore's new album is nothing akin to Candy...er, right, I don't know the names of any of Mandy Moore's old stuff....

Right. This blog is called Guilt Free Pleasures. No need to preface my post about Mandy Moore. (Still, I can't help but feel that my street cred has taken a considerable hit.)

I stumbled upon Mandy Moore's new album while fiddling with my co-worker's iPhone the other day (heelllllloo gadget lust!) and wandered into the iTunes app. I listened to some samples, and found my head bopping along to the soulful, slightly Lilith-Fair-esque quality. Home I went, and happily so, to download Moore's new album, "Amanda Leigh." Mandy shows much versatility on this album, as she can just as easily sound ethereal and breathy (a la Sarah McLaughlin) as she can folksy.

I'll be glad for her if the album's really good. I remember watching an interview with her years ago in which she spoke ecstatic about having discovered indie music. Of all the pop singers from the late 90s she's the only one who's musical taste matured. It hasn't seemed like she's had any interest in mainstream pop music since that interview, although it does appear to be hard for her to break away from the stigma.
