Red by Dia Frampton

Frampton was first runner-up on NBC's "The Voice." The 24-year-old waif from Utah has experience fronting a band with her sister, and she has a fine-tuned persona -- quirky, sweet and charismatic with a lilting voice and a knack for unusual phrasing

This amazing girl comes out with a surprising album. At first , I listen to her single : The Broken Ones. I was surprised by her style that so different from her performance at The Voice. All the song that compiled in this album are similar to Lenka, Paloma Faith, and Marit Larsen style.

The lyrics that written are mesh of words, thoughts, and phrases blended together so perfectly to give the song the roots of its beautiful.The song are bittersweet, easy to relate to, and not complicated to understand without losing the utter amazing meaning. This is again Dia Frampton's songwriting at its best.

Tracklist:
1. Don't Kick The Chair (feat. Kid Cudi)
2. Isabella
3. The Broken Ones
4. Good Boy
5. I Will
6. Billy The Kid
7. Daniel
8. Walk Away
9. Bullseye
10. Trapeze

The songs that recomended by me are : Don't Kick The Chair,The Broken Ones, Walk Away but the others are worth to listen because they have similar unique rhythm. Unfortunately, I can't come to her show on Gandaria City on 2013 due to my pregnancy and my study activity. I really enjoy her works.
