Get Some Eastern-Inspired Tunes
EIU musical prodigy Charlotte Martin
released her latest EP this weekend.
Test-drive songs includes eight
songs with titles like
Pretty Thing and
Something Like a Hero and costs $13.
Martin, who graduated from Eastern in 1998, compares herself to everyone from Kate Bush and Tori Amos to Bill Joel and the Cure’s lead singer, Robert Smith.
"I've never been afraid of exploring those dark places in my head and heart, and even though I visit the dark, I don't live there,” said she in this interview. “What I love about the comics is that they are edgy and off-beat, not necessarily the moroseness. I mean, I don't dress in all black."
