Background / Composition: Basia Bulat turned heads last year when her under-the-radar full-length debut, Oh, My Darling, garnered a Polaris nomination. Her folky-pop is credited with (once again?) making the autoharp cool. Grade: 86 Comment: Bulat had a full band in tow, but it wasn't the sort you see every day. Her primary players were on...

Perez Hilton and Lily Allen are at it again! Perez snarked at Allen for crying after Fulham FC lost the UEFA final match to Atletico Madrid and also made fun of her for drinking. In response, Allen called him a "woman-hating retard." I don't know whether to laugh at you guys or puke in my mouth. —MTV News Singing cats will save the...

Owen Pallett's Heartland Repeats At #1

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) February 2, 2010 12:30 pm
Unlike Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day, reliving the same day over and over again, there's quite unusual turnover on the campus charts this week, a trend that continues from last week. Excluding the top spot — which remains the same — things below that spot are downright unstable. Despite shedding his "gamer" pseudonym, Owen...

Basia Bulat — Heart Of My Own

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) January 27, 2010 5:48 pm
It'll only take about two minutes for this disc to quell sophomore jinx worries. "Go On," Heart Of My Own's lead-off track is a veritable barn-burner — along the lines of Oh, My Darling's "I Was A Daughter," but considerably less slipshod. After hearing raucous songs like that, as well as the album's galloping, stand-out track "Gold Rush," it...

Basia Bulat's Heart Is On The Road

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) January 19, 2010 4:18 pm
Basia Bulat would be the first to admit that her success is at least partially an accident. When she recorded her Oh My Darling debut album in 2006, she only meant for it to be an "audible memory" of the time she'd spent with some friends in Montreal. That disc's producer, Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, The Dears), had other ideas....

Basia Bulat Battles Sophomore Jinx

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) January 11, 2010 5:30 pm
The worst part of getting high is coming down. Basia Bulat is undoubtedly happy for the runaway success of her 2007 Oh My Darling debut, but she also realizes she set the bar pretty high. Not many debut albums lead to European tours and get short listed for major awards like the Polaris Music Prize. With her second full-length, Heart Of My Own...

Basia Bulat: Not Just Beginner's Luck

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) December 16, 2008 10:53 am
Smoky-voiced indie-folk songstress Basia Bulat uses the word "luck" often when she speaks of the chain of events that led to the buzz surrounding her debut album, Oh, My Darling. There's also some soft giggling in embarrassment when complimented on her music. The album was initially recorded as what Bulat, who hails from London,...
