Marie Digby recently released Unfold on Hollywood Records."  Digby got her big break when she won the Pantene Pro-Voice Competition in 2004, and she gained even more attention posting her songs and covers on YouTube.

In Unfold, Digby has a pure, fresh voice that is like a breath of fresh air in today's music. Most of her songs consist of acoustic guitar and keyboard. Her sweet melodies"  make the listener's head bop to the beat. Her lyrics, catchy and sweet, are easy to sing along with and relate to.

Most of the songs deal with love and teen problems. If you want a more upbeat song, Digby serves up "Girlfriend" and "Stupid for You." Both of these tracks are great to pick up your mood and feet. Digby also stays down-to-earth with many soft acoustic songs mixed with intoxicating keyboard harmonies. "Say it Again" is a sweet song that allows your body to sway from side to side.

Fans of Sara Bareilles who might want a younger sound will become attached to this light-hearted singer from the first track. Digby's lovable image, lyrics, and melodies make Unfold contagious and definitely something to sing about.
