"One of the Top 10 living songwriters along with Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen." - NPR
The long awaited album from Aimee Mann, Charmer, is influenced by what Mann calls the 'super pop' of the '70s and '80s. The album is her first release since 2008's celebrated @#%&*! Smilers. Of Charmer, her eighth studio album, Mann comments, "I'm fascinated by charming people and the whole idea of charm. It's hard to remember sometimes that there is usually an agenda behind the act of being charming, and that is what I'm most interested in. Is someone's charm being utilized just to try and entertain people, make them feel special and interesting, or is there a more sinister purpose behind it? Sometimes I think 'charm' can just be another word for 'manipulation'." The album also includes a duet with James Mercer of The Shins on "Living A Lie".
Since her last album, Aimee has performed for the President at the White House, appeared as herself on the TV series Portlandia and fast became an internet darling. Named one of The Huffington Post's "13 Funny Musicians You Should Be Following on Twitter," Mann has gained a diehard social media following for her quick wit and stinging observation, much of which is reflected on this album.
"One of the finest songwriters of her generation." - New York Times
"If you like good singer songwriters and you've never heard of Aimee Mann; do yourself a favour and check this album out then catch her on tour if she's coming near you - I know I hope to." - www.gettothefront.com
