"Released" Released
"I think this album has two personalities," Lisa Palleschi says of her debut, Released. "Half the songs are really pretty ballads, love songs, and the other half are more in-your-face, rock songs."
Lisa Palleschi fatefully cut a demo in 2003 in a small Long Island studio owned by Richie Cannata, a collaborator with Billy Joel. Through the help of Steven C. Beer of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, she began traveling to New York, L.A. and Nashville to co-write and hone both her voice and her songs with the likes of such co-producers/co-writers as Jeff Franzel (Taylor Dayne, Clay Aiken, Shawn Colvin), Adrian Gurvitz (Sheryl Crow, Meredith Brooks, Steve Perry), Frank Filipetti (James Taylor, Carly Simon, The Color Purple) and Tom Kimmel (Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, Art Garfunkel).
The 12 songs on the disc range from the post-break-up tune "New Beginning" ("It's about taking risks and not being afraid to fall on your ass!") to "Lightyears Away," which reminds us to live in the moment: "It's about not worrying about little stupid petty stuff, tomorrow those things will seem light years away." If she reaffirms in "Already Gone" that karma is a boomerang, in "Once Upon A Time," she "was thinking about all the people in the world who never followed through on what they really wanted to do in life."
