| ink feather Girls Rock: Bree Sharp
Dana Meltzer
Teen Magazine
June, 2000

  Name of CD: A Cheap And Evil Girl

  Song you're singin' with the radio: "David Duchovny" (Yup, it's about The X-Files star.)

  Sounds like: Matchbox 20

  Behind the music: It wasn't a requirement to be a long-haired, yoga-loving vegetarian to score a spot on the Lilith Fair lineup, but 24-year-old Bree Sharp already had the crunchy lifestyle goin' to help get her girl-power music on the Lilith stage last year. The petite, big-voiced Bree may not be a rock star (yet!), but she sure has hung out with enough of them. After all, it isn't every day that Sarah McLachlan asks aspiring singers to jump onstage with Sheryl Crow and the Indigo Girls to help her croon classic rocker Bob Dylan's tune, "I Shall Be Released." Like her fellow Fair artists, Bree's music is mood-altering pop with girls-rock lyrics. "I do my best to write honestly about what's going on in my life," Bree says. "If you tell the truth about your situation, people are going to go, 'I know what that's like.'"

  Goddess praise: Bree's music will inspire you to write a soul letter ot yourself, paint your room your power color, or geez, dye your hair pink and stick it up in a zillion braids. Righteous, but we'd also like to gush about Bree's undiscovered talents: "I'm really good at Ms. Pac Man-I got the highest score at the mall three days ago," Bree says, rackin' up the love points. Then she told us: "I don't listen to my album regularly, but if I do play it, I look in the mirror, do air guitar, make faces, go 'AAHH!' and stick out my tongue." See what we mean?

  Male Match: Matchbox 20. Even though Matchbox 20 scored their first smash hit with their love-gone-all-wrong song "Push," while Bree chose to write about her celebrity crush "David Duchovny" for her debut single, Matchbox and Bree have song styles that would put them in the same rock-block on college radio. Both Bree and Matchbox frontman Rob Thomas have a knack for writing smart, right-on lyrics that rock and roll behind a tight guitar. Our fingers are crossed that Bree will win a Grammy to match Rob's (for his work with Carlos Santana). Rock on, Bree!
