Brooks' voice plays like a poor country cousin of Alanis -- she's a little less angry and a little more cuddly. With a voice that is breathy, growling and, yes, female, Brooks' well-meaning ballads are extensively easy on the ears -- and as far from deconstructing the mainstream female Singer-Songwriter niche as Derrida is from Jim Nabors. - Eric SheaAdult Alternativeen720Fri, 4 Dec 2009 06:42:58 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9337&rws=%2Fmeredith-brooks%2Fmusic-videos.rss Debuting in 1997 with the provocatively titled single "Bitch," and returning in 1999 with an album titled <i>Deconstruction</i>, pop singer Meredith Brooks proves conclusively that you can mimic the precepts of postmodernism without having any idea what the heck you're doing.
