Leah Andreone
"Mother Tongue"

Soothing and a bit softer than her debut hit, "It's Alright It's OK," Andreone's second release from the album "Veiled" has an appeal that suits many formats. The lyrics show the emotion Andreone puts into her work -- like "Mother tongue today I curse you, where's my voice, have I lost my virtue?" and "I could lose everything surrendering to you." Andreone has come a long way from her waitressing days on Sunset Boulevard. Look for the artist on this summer's red-hot Lilith Fair, which should give "Mother Tongue" the exposure it needs.
