Her music is "alt-country” for sure, which I sometimes hate, but her dark and seductive voice has me believing in a way I never did before...She has really matured as a songwriter and singer and her band did the tunes justice. fell in love with her driving home from El Paso the other day, listening to her voice tell me (OK, the listener!) that “forgot to tell me how much she loves me" on my personal favorite "I Remembered I Forgot,” which she claims is just some sort of inside joke of hers about how cheesy Nashville songwriters really are. Well this lady is ready for the Big Time! If I were Clive Davis, she'd be signed! Five stars! (*****) Rich Hopkins San Jacinto Records, Tucson, Az Maverick Magazine says, Novak is "one of the most promising singer/songwriters to emerge on the Houston music scene over the past couple of year." Taxi writes, "Fade Away is hot." Fade Away is track #2 of Lisa Novak's "Too Shallow to Swim" release, November 2006. Iresistable melodies and infectious hooks. This singer/songwriter album touches on Americana, pop/rock and folk with clever lyrics and writing. You'l love it!
