MP3 Caroline Beevis - Desert World
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Progressive Rock, POP: with Electronic Production
Details:
Started writing and recording songs in her teens, self-taught guitar, was front woman/songwriter in several bands until the realisation dawned that she didn’t need a band to do what she loves most - writing, recording and producing on her own.
Along the way has received support and encouragement from ‘Wonderful Life’ songwriter Colin Vearncombe, who liked a 4-track demo so much that he left her all alone for six months in his studio (luckily she did manage to find a way out in the end).
One of those songs won a ‘Making Music’ competition and attracted the attention of Midge Ure, (Live Aid and Ultravox), who she then spent a day recording with in his home studio, though this time was not left unattended.
Somehow she found the time to study singing, and then she was ready to produce her first solo CD album, Safe Beneath The Stars. It contains a song called ‘Daisyworld’, which was inspired by the scientist James Lovelock, who she then sent a copy of the completed song to! He was thrilled, and he wrote back saying that no one had ever written a song about his Gaia/Daisyworld theory before, and enclosed a blank cassette in return.
That album also contains the best ever Winnie The Pooh song, ever in the entire world, ever. It’s called, ‘Pooh’s Song’, or ‘Song For Europe’, as it was entered into the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest and made it as far as the final twenty five. Did I mention it’s the best song about Winnie The Pooh, ever?
The album also received ''Artist of the Month'' reviews in ''The Mix'' and ''Sound On Sound'' magazines. The leading song ''Wonderland'', attracted attention from both Roland Orzabel, (Tears For Fears), and engineer/producer Alan Branch, (Primal Scream), who was working with Shane Macgowan and the Popes at the time. He played her song ‘Waiting For Life’ to the band, and they re-recorded a lovely version of it with Kieran from the Popes adding accordion and piano.
Next came a six-track EP, SpaceTime Tripping, the title track being inspired by Einstein’s small contribution to life, the Universe and just about EVERYTHING.
Live : Caroline has been performing live for over fifteen years. Venues include: The London Hippodrome, The 12-Bar Club, Mean Fiddler, Acoustic Cafe, Rock Garden, the London Marquee, and most recently under the stars in the Namib Desert, Africa. Her performances are both intimate and charged with raw nervous energy as she brings her songs to life in a compelling visual feast.
Her latest CD, Desert World, is set against a backdrop of the desert, and includes International Song Contest runner-up, ''Here He Comes (Take My Heart)''.
