Anna Kaelin broke onto the musical stage as a contestant on the 8th Season of American Idol. Drop-dead gorgeous looks, a girl next door personality, and a voice that could stop anyone in their tracks seemed to be a perfect combination for the contestant, however country music was not in the cards for that particular season. Anna has used her experience on the show as a launching point and cannot be stopped. Opening for Grammy award winning artists, such as Vince Gill, playing 5 instruments, and touring through Europe is only the beginning to this young artist’s career. Her self-titled debut captures her country girl in the city attitude as well as her fun loving personality. Songs such as “Parading in the Rain” gives listeners a look into her optimistic outlook, while songs including “When Love Finds You” and “Give Me a Reason” allow audiences to see her more serious, and artistic writing ability. Overall, Anna Kaelin is a breath of fresh, wholesome, air in the contemporary music world and is just what the genre needs.
