Down The Rabbit Hole: Allison'S Invention Brings You To Wonderland With A CD Release Show For Her New Album "Sweet and Vicious"
Allison's Invention brings you to Wonderland with a CD release show for her new album "Sweet and Vicious," on Wednesday, July 27th at Sullivan Hall in New York City
NEW YORK, NY, July 22, 2011
Allison's Invention, formally known by her given name, Allison Tartalia, is glancing through the looking glass at a new path in her poignant career. A show to support her new album, Sweet and Vicious, due for release on July 27th of this year, will be held on the same day at New York City's Sullivan Hall (214 Sullivan St at 7:30pm).No stranger to the New York Music scene, Allison's Invention captures the singer's brutally honest, and at times satirical lyrics that fearlessly portray her failed relationships and family struggles.
Recently up for an Emmy for her work on the documentary 5,000 Miles From Home, Allison is able to use her vast music skills in multiple entertainment avenues. Her classical piano background and self-taught guitar playing, along with the eclectic instrumentation and complex arrangements, capture her unique sound. Her ability to engage multiple audiences with her fusion of jazz, chamber pop and folk makes her transcend typical solo artist stereotypes.
Sweet and Vicious, which Something Else says, "gives hope for the future," was produced by Grammy Award winner Michael Leonhart, (Steely Dan, Lenny Kravitz) and will be released on July 27 of 2011. This lush melodramatic-pop album is already starting a spark in the music world of New York.
On this project Allison fills a void in the music industry. Allison is a woman who knows that every line is well earned war paint. We are given a space in which to reflect, grow and speak our own truths from a place of learned confidence, insight and serenity. Like the inspiration for her new pseudonym, Allison's Invention, provokes her listeners to get back up after a big fall, and gain the confidence to start over on a new and improved path. Sweet and Vicious is a project that has the transcendent depth to put Allison's Invention on the map.

"Wonder of wonders, this native New Yorker's debut CD sounds legitimately more jazzy than folky---smack-dab in the Laura Nyro/Ricki Lee Jones/Sophie B. Hawkins." - Chuck Eddy, The Village Voice
"A singer with a sultry voice." - Marc Santora, The New York Times
"Trying to pin down Emmy-nominee Allison Tartalia to one genre is like trying to capture a single atom in your hand. As a solo artist, she has been known to fuse jazz, rock, folk and more - sometimes all within the same song. She is brutally honest about her life; her songs, thematically similar to Aimee Mann's, are downtrodden yet still possess a sardonic wit. You may get to know her better while you watch her bare her soul onstage." - Brett Ackerman, Beacon Pass
