You may indeed already be familiar with
Bonnie McKee, she released her debut album in 2004. It was basically a mix of Fiona Apple/Sarah McLaughlin/Michelle Branch/X-Tina. Very singer-songwriter and alternative. Her label promoted her the wrong way and she ended up selling only like 20,000 copies.
*Since then she's starred in the movie August Rush, appeared in Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" video, and guest starred on CSI: NY.
*She proclaimed herself as Katy Perry's "frenemy" long before Katy ever became famous. She's also good friends with KE$HA
She's made a complete musical transformation. Her new sound is a total
80s/electro-dance/rock mix. Not too distant from Katy actually. However, Bonnie is much more vocally ambitious.
"Worst In Me" sounds like 1st single material. "Head On" could have been on "One Of The Boys". "Love Spell" has got some kickass vocals and sounds like something Mariah may have done back in the day. haha.
