Not on the Spotlight Review, take 1

NP: Skye Sweetnam--"Noise From the Basement"

Criminally ignored bit of almost-Avril pop, this post-tween boasts not only a pretty decent voice but a co-writer and producer who throws in some sugar-metal backing Def Leppard style to produce something along the lines of the Rachel Sweet/Liam Sternberg model from decades ago. Mix together and voila: instant fun! For an intriguing exercise, imagine this in the radio in your head as a hardcore album that finishes in 25 minutes rather than 45. Irresistable.
