Real Music makes a comback
Anyone ever heard of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals? She is an incredible, revolutionary artist from Vermont who happens to be immensly talented.
She is able to captivate audiences with an entertaining and incredible live show. Her band is talented in their own right. They seem to know how to play instruments and play them well.
She brings to today’s music what Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc, are SEVERELY lacking: FOCUS on talent, not on looks, popularity, and style.
She has the ability to bring forth a sense of the women entertainers of days old, but with a modernized twist. Don’t fool yourself: Grace Potter isn’t here to be a white Tina turner wannabe, or a Heart impersonation act. She is the real deal: true to herself and offering more than just a covers type of attitude.
Grace Potter knows good music and respects it. She understands that she doesn’t have to SELL-OUT her talent by dressing in a bikini and singing things that are meaningless and plastic. She ISN’T afraid to step behind instruments during most of her show. Poorly choreographed dance moves don’t take center stage in her art. She’s about feeling the music and displaying that emotion in an undisclosed, unrestricted performance.
In addition, Grace has the capability to give our generation what Nirvana gave to the 1990s generation, what U2 and Michael Jackson gave to the 80s generation, what Pink Floyd gave to the 1970s, and what Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Beatles gave to the 1960s: the WHOLE package. Hey: it’s OK to be talented, you DON’T have to make videos of you trying to do what Madonna’s already done, you don’t HAVE to sing about dancing and infatuation, and you don’t have to make sell yourself out in order to appease the record companies. You can be yourself, and, as Grace is starting to do, be a superstar.
She doesn’t need to create publicity for herself through terrible and overdone outfits. She doesn’t need to make herself known through tabloids. She doesn’t need a hip hop or rap artist behind her to gain credibility.
Just look on the sleeve of Grace’s new record: EVERY song was written BOTH lyrically and musically by herself and her band mates. IN ADDITION, EVERY song is fantastic. Not boring, dull, or sounding like the previous track. NONE of the songs depend on synthesizers, auto tone, remixes or techno.
It’s a miracle someone like this is happening in today’s music world, crossing over into popularity. Hopefully she will start a revolution in today’s musical scene, and like Nirvana, end the mindless pop that drowns it.
