Hi there,

I hope this finds you well and enjoying some Springtime weather.

As I may have mentioned, the new album is out and the first batch of reviews was really nice. The San Francisco Bay Guardian did a piece on their blog, Noise, ("Her voice is an alluringly warm, friendly instrument - sweet without becoming cloying, tender and heartfelt and rich from just a hint of a soft husky purr...") and I got little shout outs from The Onion (in Madison and San Francisco) and the East Bay Express, The San Francisco Examiner, as well as some other great papers and mags. They're all at www.annalaube.com under "Press Reviews."

But the "unofficial" reviewers (that means you!) are just as important. Now that many of you have had a chance to listen to your copy of the new album for a little while, it would help me out immensely if you would be willing to go over to iTunes, CD Baby, or Amazon (or your favorite online music site) and post your own review of the album.

In other news, my buddy and filmmaker, Pete Lang, is just finishing up editing my first official music video for my new single, "Hippie Boyfriend." I'll be sure to let you know when it's up. But in the meantime, check out my new Youtube channel for a video from our Iowa Public Radio performance in January and a fun video for my new song "Om Namah Shivaya (Ulysses) that I did with cello player extraordinaire, Rebbeca Roudman.

I also just joined Twitter (www.twitter.com/annalaube), seemingly along with the rest of the country, and I've also on Pandora for awhile, did you know? Come say hello.
