State of Being : Classical Beauty
Slow Me Down - Emmy Rossum
Album: Inside Out; Genre: Contemporary 
Was watching the AC Countdown Chart on cable's MTV channel the other day and that's when I got acquainted with Emmy Rossum. A Golden Globe-nominated actress for her role in the screen adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, I wasn't even aware that she's actually a singer-songwriter and has released an album with Geffen Records.
Apparently, after her role in The Phantom of the Opera, Rossum was offered several deals to record classical albums, but refused, opting to create an album of contemporary, more mainstream music. Though her voice is not as vocally powerful as Sara Brightman in the rendition of "The Phantom of the Opera", she fares way ahead in the looks department with her classical beauty.
Normally, singles like "Slow Me Down" isn't my kind of music but it's just so soothing listening to her angelic voice. In fact, this song sounded totally different than the other pop 'mainstream' music that we usually hear on the radio. I guess that this is what they mean when you fully utilize your vocals without over-stretching your range like what those current American Idols singers are doing on a weekly basis!!
