Following in the
footsteps of her aforementioned genre cousins, Polly Paulusma
has seen the light and reached for the sky, coming out
of the shadows to debut single "Dark Side," an
enchanting and intelligent potion of sophisticated and
deep lyrics, which couldn't be more tightly pieced together
if it were a mathematical puzzle, not to say that the style
is rigid and logical, far from it.
Polly's distinctive vocals and melodic acoustic guitars, grabs you and reels
you in before you can even begin to swim away, as vocally she rings true of classics
such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King, yet with a unique contemporary edge.
It therefore comes as no surprise to hear that record label One Little Indian
snapped this impressive new talent up within a mere week of hearing her demo
material. This put paid to her ideas to be a journalist, researcher, or novelist,
encouraging her to put her English Degree to creative use as a singer-songwriter. "Dark
Side," which featured on that original demo, has now made it's way onto
debut album (Scissors in My Pocket) for all to hear it's captivating nature,
you cannot argue that Polly is an insightful and enchanting story teller.
Dark Side is released 5th April 2004 on One Little Indian Records
