Neeley Bridges
"Before even opening the case of Neeley Bridges debut album Devil On My Shoulder, I was ready to write it off into the abyss with dozens of other cute female Northeastern singer/songwriter's, all trying to be Joni and all falling well short of that mark. Even before the completion of the album's opening track, On The Ground, Bridges had already defeated my admittedly unfair predeterminations, drawing my attention closer with each soothing note. With beauty meant for the stage and a voice meant for the masses, Bridges is certain to distinguish herself amid the ever-growing crowd of girls with a six-string. Her voice is refined by the theater, but underlying such precision is an impassioned vulnerability, the type of emotional connection that separates the true artists. She's McLachlan with an edge sharpened by the weight of modern times. Above all, the album's closing track, featuring only Bridges's voice set against silence, is the type of powerful ending to leave listeners with dropped jaws, as they eagerly await more from the talented songstress."
