| Eleanor Fye Releases New Album “Love Stays On” If the names Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Mary Chapin Carpenter have any meaning for you then Eleanor Fye's music will find common ground between your ears and in your heart. Comparisons to more modern day artists come up as well including Sara Bareilles or Norah Jones but make no mistake about it; Eleanor Fye defines her own place in the vast world of artists vying for your attention. On Eleanor's second full-length release Love Stays On she literally stays "On" herself through the entire recording offering up pop-rock tunes that are a seemingly endless stream of emotion and succinct musical statements. On tracks like "Best Place To Hide" the young diva tells you in no uncertain terms how she feels and that there is no contentment in being treated other than an equal human being. It is starting with this verse and song that the artist explains to her audience who she is on consistent basis throughout her upbeat recording. Going from jazz to folk to rock is a fluid process on this record, keeping your interest from start to finish. Love Stays On was recorded in Nashville in a few days (with a couple of tracks recorded in LA) and the feeling and atmosphere of the album is indicative of the resourcefulness the vocalist and her band achieved during those sessions. It's a testament to Eleanor's skill both as a producer and musician that she can hold her own in the studio with Nashville A-list session players like bassist Michael Rhodes and master guitarist John Jorgenson, who contributes a variety of guitar and mandolin work to the recording. With Love Stays On Eleanor's changes in style doesn't detract, it rather defines an artist capable of doing more than one thing, displaying her diversity and strengths in all aspects of every track. Love Stays On is available at all major Etailers and from the artist's website February 1, 2011.
