| Gina Villalobos |
"Miles Away" (Hear here) |
(Face West, April 3, 2007) |
|
BTW: Villalobos tells P&P that she had no preconceived intentions for her second album. "In the end," she says, "what I strive for is having a group of songs where the meaning of them as a whole is beyond them ... and lies in the spaces between them all ... and then the listener gets to projects their own meaning into them. This is what I think makes art 'art.' It's an unconscious receptacle for everyone, including the artist (me)."
Does the new "Queen of Country Rock" have a personal favorite on "Miles Away"? Honestly, she says, no. "I am drawn to certain sections of songs for some reason," she says. "I would not be able to tell you the reasoning behind why, though. ... The 'outro' of 'Somebody Save Me' - the Bridge of 'Don't Let Go' - the second chorus of 'Somewhere to Lay Down' - solo of 'Hard Enough' - outro of 'Don't Defeat Me' - pre-chorus of 'Tied to My Side.' "
