Release Notes:
Hello, Tristan Prettyman's second album is an appealing portrait of this
freewheeling San Diego, CA, native as she narrates stories about her life, loves
and heartbreaks in her seductive, smoky alto. With laid-back melodies springing
from finger-picked acoustic guitar, plaintive pedal-steel guitar, Wurlitzer,
Hammond organ, and strings, Hello explores Prettyman's love of country-blues and
folk from the '60s and '70s, on songs like the first single "Madly", as well as
"Echo", and "Just A Little Bit".
Recorded over six weeks in London with Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall) and Sacha
Skarbek (James Blunt, KT Tunstall), Hello delivers on the promise Prettyman
raised with her 2005 Virgin Records debut Twentythree- a critically
well-received collection of "bright, breezy ditties about romantic bliss" as
People magazine put it in its review.
___
A former model for Quicksilver's Roxy label, singer/songwriter Tristan Prettyman
grew up in the San Diego area. Her beachside town allowed for many surfing
excursions, and Prettyman practiced the sport often, even placing fifth in a
local surfing competition while still a teenager. She also took a liking to the
music of Ani DiFranco, Joni Mitchell, Jack Johnson, and her father's old
acoustic guitar allowed Prettyman the chance to learn an instrument and hone her
songwriting skills. In between modeling gigs and surfing trips, she began
showcasing her acoustic songs at local parties and small-sized venues. She also
landed a song on the soundtrack to Chris Malloy's 2001 surf film, Shelter, which
helped cement her status as a budding musician.
The buzz around Prettyman continued to grow as she toured with G. Love & Special
Sauce and fellow San Diego-based folk-popper Jason Mraz. She recorded and
self-released the Love EP in 2003, and considering the mainstream success of
Mraz and Jack Johnson, it wasn't long before the majors came calling. Prettyman
eventually signed with Virgin Records. Her debut offering of acoustic folk-pop,
Twentythree, appeared in August 2005, featuring contributions from Mraz, Norah
Jones' guitarist Jesse Harris, and several ace session players. Hello followed
in 2008 and broadened Prettyman's palette, with electric instruments and slick
production beefing up her songs. |
