Vanessa Carlton - Rabbits on the Run
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Vanessa Carlton-Rabbits on the RunWhen Carlton burst on to the scene in 2002, she was hailed as a new piano-pop princess. Sadly, the Pennsylvania native was unable to match the success of her million-selling debut, Be Not Nobody, and changed record labels several times. But Carlton’s fourth album, recorded in the seclusion of Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Bath, England, sounds like an artistic rebirth. Inspired by Richard Adams’ fantasy novel, Watership Down, it features confident and dreamy story-songs like “Carousel” and “Hear the Bells.”
