Sonnet is a singer/songwriter that you might not have heard of– but you most likely have heard her voice! She’s the first-ever gorgeous voice profiled on Overstock.com and singing “O is the One”– one of 3 commercials that she did for the site.
Sonnet, whose name is derived from the Italian word, “sonetto” meaning a “little song” or “little sound,” delivers a fresh perspective or feel of pop, illuminated with pulsating electronic beats and themes that connect across emotional lines and frame her eight-song debut.
It feels like something you have heard before but not– it’s fresh different and definitely memorable that will stick in your mind as it becomes one of your fave CDs! This ascending singer-songwriter first captivated national audiences with her song, “You’re So Good for Me,” which was featured in a Coca Cola/Lagoon Park campaign, hitting the Top 100 downloads list for Amazon, appearing on i-Tunes, and garnering over 40K downloads in its first month. In August, 2012, Overstock.com debuted the first in a series of three commercials featuring Sonnet singing the Overstock.com song, “O is the One,” which she co-wrote.
Sonnet released her debut self-titled EP in late September and it reflects a blend of Sara Bareilles + Adele + a bit of Colbie Caillat with a pinch of Gwen Stefani. Truly, her voice has a depth and breadth that I thought of Bareilles when I heard the first 2 lines of the song. AMAZING! A singer-songwriter and pianist, Sonnet combines a variety of cultural influences and classical techniques that blend the frothy effervescence of Eighties dance anthems with modern electronic touches and pop choruses. I dig the CD so much that when I finally saw the photos featured here, it was like I already knew her. She’s got a killer vocal style and personal presentation!
Sonnet’s song #1 from her EP: BOYS! (LOVE THIS!!)
