Album Notes
Personnel: Meredith Brooks (vocals, guitar); Jimmy Woods (harmonica); David Ricketts (keyboards, bass, programming); Jim Ebert (synthesizer, bass, programming); Paul Bushnell (bass); Josh Freese (drums); Geza X (programming); Victoria Levy (background vocals).
Recorded at Alpha Studios, Burbank, California and The Salt Mines and City Lab Sound Design, Hollywood, California.
"Bitch" was nominated for 1998 Grammy Awards for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song.
Meredith Brooks follows in the footsteps of Alanis Morissette and Sheryl Crow. She's not as angry as Morissette or as bluesy as Crow, but BLURRING THE EDGES shows Brooks to be a songwriter with an uncanny ability to mix sound textures with lyrics about the intricacies of relationships. Swirling keyboards and guitar distortion are combined with such elements as the Indian-flavored chimes that precede the scratchy guitars and confident vocals of "I Need" and "Wash My Hands," the album's opening and closing tracks. In between, Brooks uses her pen to tear apart chic cynicism ("Pollyanne"); to mull the possibilities of a chance sexual encounter ("What Would Happen"); and to express the helpless feeling of watching someone you love hit bottom ("Watched You Fall").
Industry Reviews
...Her well-constructed, bittersweet blues-pop deals with familiar material--from bad first dates to good first kisses--and is leavened with hooks and humor and a refreshing, unself-conscious swagger. - Rating: B+
