Meet Alyse Black
Alyse Black's vocal-based indie-pop is frequently compared to the ridiculously playful Regina Spektor; the spacious, anything-goes Björk; and the soft and throbbing Norah Jones. From sultry and whispering to powerful and gripping, Alyse Black embodies the red-headed siren singer-songwriter.
"A natural songwriting talent and vocal skills. Alyse is often and obviously compared to Tori Amos or Norah Jones, but somehow, especially in the ballads, she makes me think of a whispering Björk on the verge of a laugh attack (she's constantly smiling, as if in a trance). Her songs swallow you whole, and there's nothing you can do about it... Fans adore her smooth, come-hither voice and cleverly spun lyrics. Like a sonic speedball, her smooth-as-butter jazz sensibility mixes with her frisky, spirited voice to produce one helluva listening high." -- San Antonio Current --
After a childhood of musical theater and living abroad, Alyse began her career singing on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle. One rare sunny afternoon, the pianist for a local group wandered by, stood captivated for a moment, and then explained: he needed another singer for a show that night at a local club. It was perfect for a girl who was too passionate for her over-educated background. There was no looking back.
