#21 | VANESSA CARLTON | Love Is An Art
Dine Alone Records | Official Store

According to Quentin Harrison: “Eleven songs constitute the record and they all cohere into a beautiful whole, at the same time, each selection is unique and capable of standing on its own….Six recordings deep into her career, Love Is An Art has Carlton occupying her most precise and powerful incarnation yet. While one cannot be sure what is next for her, what is clear here is that Carlton is a woman woken to her potential and purpose as an artist—that will continue to be her guiding creative principle, much to our listening pleasure.”
