Music Review & Giveaway, Justine Dorsey: Colorwheel

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to ruthhill74, comment #4 , who said, "I like your blog on facebook."
Justine Dorsey's debut album Colorwheel features two songs she wrote and arranged, which might not be surprising to hear, until you find out she was only fourteen when she did it. A talented teenager, she's a multi-talented artist also currently seen acting on ABC's hit show Brothers & Sisters as Rob Lowe's daughter. I will be watching Justine's career unfold with interest, I know she'll be going far! I love that she's a positive role model and someone actively making her dreams come true.
Her sound is predominantly upbeat and happy; she even manages to sound empowered during a break up. A delightful collection of bouncy pop with a little bit of big band feel to some. It's a got a nice range of songs with enough tempo change to keep things interesting throughout.

Justine and Colorwheel are great choices for parents looking for music that they and their teenagers can agree on. While normal teenage issues are dealt with, they are in an age appropriate manner and while I don't have a tween, yet, I can definitely appreciate that. A more mature album, that my teenage self would've related to a lot, Colorwheel is best suited for tweens and up.

  2. I downloaded it, and she sounds young, but she definitely has written something worth listening to. Give her a few years, and I think she will really come of age, so to say.
