"With a voice that seamlessly captures intimacy and intensity, ADALINE'S compelling piano compositions, revealing lyrics, and haunting melodies have been seducing audiences since 2005. From pulsing rock, to cabaret, to orchestral ballads, ADALINE creates meticulously crafted soundscapes where brass, strings, and vibraphone meet electric guitars and programmed percussion. Classical and pop sensibilities produce soundtracks that are both artistic and accessible. Often compared to the likes of Fiona Apple, Cat Power, and Tori Amos, ADALINE takes her place among these artists as one who is also inspired by the craft of songwriting and the power of performance. ADALINE studied music during her school years in Whitby, Ontario and into her post-secondary studies in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she now calls home. Her studies and home life created the music-saturated environment in which her love of music developed and matured. She says, "I have always known that music is life. As I grow older, I see more of what that means. I know that when writing a piece of music I am creating something that is intimately mine, yet overwhelmingly yours. This sharing process, the way we reveal the intricacies of who we are, both lyrically and musically, is powerful beyond comprehension. This vulnerability is both terrifying and beautiful". ADALINE'S debut full length album, Famous For Fire, recorded at the prestigious Factory Studios and at Demitone Productions, was released on April 22nd, 2008. Showcasing the talents of over 20 Canadian musicians and produced by Scott Sanft, the album is a stunning symphonic tapestry with electronic, folk, and rock persuasions. Since the release, the album has received rave reviews from critics all citing her as one of Canada's most exciting new talents. Since the release, ADALINE continues to sell out Vancouver venues, has toured through Southern Ontario and is heading out on a fall tour of Western Canada scheduled for October 2008. She continues to be a sought after songwriter and vocalist for collaborations with local producers, bands and dj's. With music described "electronic Edith Piaf rock café" (Vernon Morning Star) and a performance expressed as "watching someone in the midst of some kind of massive physical and emotional release - intimate and raw and exuberant" (Vancouver Sun), ADALINE is sure to grace your music collection for years to come. ADALINE - where sound and soul meet." -From the band's myspace page Adaline was also the name of a rock band from Boulder, Colorado.
