专辑介绍 ： Holly Brook来自美国的Wisconsin，她6岁起就开始登台演出，15岁时已经和母亲一起录制了3张民谣独立唱片，并组建了自己的第一支Jazz乐队。2003年她来到了Los Angeles寻求自己的音乐梦想，最终她出众的才华被著名的现代摇滚团体Linkin Park看中，将她签到了乐队自己的厂牌Machine Shop Recordings旗下。去年乐队成员Mike Shinoda发行了首张个人专辑"The Rising Tied"，其中便收录了一首与Holly Brook合作的歌曲"Where'd You Go"。今年这首歌曲在美国电台意外大热，Holly Brook这个优美的女声也开始得到了人们的关注。
初听Holly Brook很容易让人们联想到Dido，同样是凭藉著一首与rap艺人合作的歌曲而出名，她的声线和唱法也与Dido颇有几分相似。不过Holly Brook的音乐无论在旋律走势还是配乐上都更加偏向民谣风格。今年4月她发行了首张试水Digital EP，其中收录了包括"Curious"和"Saturday"在内的5首歌曲。在"Curious"这首歌曲中Holly Brook忧郁的嗓音游走在略显悲凉的钢琴伴奏之上，吟唱出了她对未知答案的不断求索。而"Saturday"则是一首轻松欢快的民谣小调，简单的木吉他伴奏与Holly Brook婉转跳跃的演唱勾勒出了一幅幅颇具生活气息的画面。
Holly Brook的首张大碟《Like Blood Like Honey》於2006年6月6日发行。
A lot of roads lead to Holly Brook (the singer, not a picnic destination). There's the hip-hop path, on which plenty of next-big-thing predictors got to know her through her collaboration with Fort Minor on The Rising Tide (her haunting chorus on "Where'd You Go" became an instant hit). Then there's the TV path, on which anybody with an ear for pop with staying power could have chosen between a couple of trails: both the NBC show Conviction and the WB series Related have featured her plaintive song "What I Wouldn't Give" off this, her debut. However you reach this piano-propelled 20-year-old star in the making, though, you won't be sorry. In the space of three songs, she recalls a decade's worth of singer-songwriters twice her age, and in an unhurried, stylish way that suggests she's doing it handily. A wrenching Tori Amos vibe weaves through "Again & Again," a track that recalls Shawn Colvin in equal measure; Suzanne Vega circa Solitude Standing surfaces in the vivid short verses of "Saturday"; and Sarah McLachlan seeps out over most of the vocals, but especially those on "Give It Up for You" and the lovely "Cellar Door." Joni Mitchell is the association Brook was going for--she cites her as influence number one--but comparisons with the more obvious mentors can't come as much of a bummer. The Joni connection may surface yet: Like Blood Like Honey is surely a trickle in a long career to come
