In the music world, the word "multi-talented" is usually synonymous with "multi-instrumentalist," bringing to mind musical masterminds such as Sufjan Stevens or Elliot Smith. It may even force a listener to respect a guy like Jack White, who I have to admit, is a solid producer.
Sarah Hallman, on the other hand, is an artist. She paints, can do graphic design and even makes pillows. Most importantly, she also writes songs. Make no mistake, Hallman is not a Sufjan Stevens or an Elliot Smith. But she is a darn good songwriter, with a lovely voice, and a great backing band (including the Arcade Fire's Jeremy Gara on drums). Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, Hallman just released her self-titled debut LP on the indie label Busted Flat Records. Hallman is already getting great exposure on college radio in Ottawa, and seems poised to break out in Canada in 2007. Check out a preview MP3 below...
