Nessa's New PETA Ad
Posted on Thursday, Apr 24, 2008 @ 5:40 PM
Doffing her hat to her beloved canine companion Victor and standing next to the tagline "Hats Off for Getting Fixed," Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton stars in a brand new ad for PETA. The classy black-and-white image was shot by ace celebrity photographer Mark Squires.
Carlton knows that practicing your ABCs (Animal Birth Control) is the best way to end animal homelessness.
"Most of the most well-adjusted and emotionally balanced dogs and cats are the mixed breeds found in shelters," says Carlton, who received [three] Grammy nominations for her 2002 hit single "A Thousand Miles." "Bottom line: Always go to a shelter first. Personally, I think spaying and neutering should be an enforced law." More...

Billboard Review for 'Hands On Me'
Posted on Friday, Jan 25, 2008 @ 12:17 PM
"Nolita Fairytale," the launch single from Vanessa Carlton's third opus, "Heroes and Thieves," was perhaps a bit too highbrow for adult top 40, which nowadays requires hits to be instantaneous as lightning. (Five years ago, that wasn't the case, as Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" earned top five status thanks to programmers' patient tenacity.) Second single "Hands on Me" maintains the singer/songwriter's intellectual bent, but melodically is perhaps more accessible. The chorus gallops alongside plentiful piano strings, percussion and one hook after another, while the lyric taps into earnest desire. Despite her new label deal with Irv Gotti's the Inc., "Hands" needs to wrap itself around radio to keep this talented artist relevant. Let's see, what do we need more: a dignified performance from a true talent, or radio's support of another T&A anthem from an act who's proud to reinforce misogyny for a quick buck? —Chuck Taylor
