It is something that the producer friend catches onto as well and mentions a white female back-up singer. I say "blame it on the white girl for not clapping on the 2 n 4, why don't you?" and there are a couple of laughs as we continue with the sound editing.

right. pass

Lawd, this is like witnessing Bristol Palin cling to fame.

The joke is over....Prince, move on to the next trim already. You're stretching out these comedies these days.

what type of listener is she targetting?




People on this website mainly.



This album needs to be stronger and more consistent then Milk and Honey or Elixer if he wants it to be more then a one shot. Though I will admit that Andy has a LOT more charisma then any of the flusey's Prince has been backing lately. While I'm not knowledgeable about the technical aspects of guitar playing, I think Allo does a good enough job (Wendy didn't have the chops some of Prince's later axe men did, but she played better). And her voice is fine, everyone needs to get over it. I'm just glad Prince isn't running around with a tranny or a crazy bald fatty.




don't you ever compare Wendy and Andy.Wendy is a musician ,she isn't the best lead guitarist but she's great rhythm guitar player.Andy isn't a musician.she is starlete and musician wanna be.her guitar 'playing' is rudamentary and she isn't able to play basic things on guitar .and she is in the game because Prince fuck her.

It's weird, it seems like every time something goes wrong in my life there is a new report of how great things are for Allo. It's like I'm in bizarro world. At this rate I may be in a lot of pain and trouble by the time the cd drops.

I'm not enjoying this at all.

I am expecting 'Superconductor' and I believe it will hit home by having so many skilled muscians on this record. Say what you want about Andy; But John Blackwell, Maceo, Trumbone Shorty, and Prince are top notch in my book! smile

Andy's guitar can be worked on a lot, but maybe she improved a great deal on the record? Her vocals aren't bad either.

On a side note:

I wonder about Dr.Funkenberry as well? WHY is he the spokesperson for Prince? Why can't Prince stick to a website already? (I have my assumptions...lol) It's crazy how we know (mostly) everything through someone else OR HERE:)...HE needs a medium for N.E.W.S.

Even as he is a co-producer he can at least start a website and promote her through his means there? I don't know..I am ranting now...

lol

But Hey...ANDY is fine as ever! smile

I love her energy and smile..She makes me "AHhh" hahaha

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

All the time and energy wasted on Tamar resulted in pretty much nothing. A decent album only a few of us bothered to listen to. Bria Vuhlentay, anyone? In a few moments, I'll be forgetting how to spell Andrew Aloe as well. I'm sure there's some talent there, but as a Prince fanatic, she's simply blocking the real funk.

Was this a gift for Andy's 1st year anniversary of her 1st Prince gig in Montreal? Or has she now finished Superconductor? And most importantly, did Prince actually make that fine specimen by his own fair hand? biggrin I wonder if he carefully cut Andy a slice of cake & placed it delicately before her then say "R u actually gonna eat that?!!" when she tucked in? Lol! wink Wish I was a fly on the wall to see what happened to that fabulouso treat!!

Sounds like a review channeled through a high school crush. I find real confidence comes when snippets of all songs are up to listen to. THAT says my record is so good I don't need a bunch of hype. Adele certainly hasn't gained her sales based on a review.

^ Sometimes I read your comments and think their right on point. Like now.

I wanna be half excited about this release but this review style and the loooong drawn out hype - not cutting it for me so far.

In fact I'm more excited by the Fdeluxe track I just listened to eek

kinda looking forward to it.. but when will we get to hear the lead single..





Seems like the single is done but they don't want to push it without a good deal or the rest of the tracks quite finished yet. If it was to come out now without everything else finalized it would lose momentum.

Wow with these comments. The fuck is wrong with y'all? Either they can't sing, "she ain't as good as..." "she BETTER..". If you were not going to buy the album in the first place why the hell you going to take the time to read the interview?

I was confused about the superconductor part though "finding one"...one what?

It is a little bit after midnight when I arrive at The Record Plant in Hollywood to talk with and listen to Andy Allo's "Superconductor" tonight. What I hear over the next few hours is an artist that is on the rise and willing to challenge herself and others around her to get there.

I'm greeted by Andy and an assistant along with a friend. They play from the top a track from "Superconductor" entitled "If I Was King" which is a mix of reggae with a pop-funk flavor. The bass is high in the mix and I am digging it. Towards the end, she does something with her voice that impresses me. Showing her octave range and being able to change it instead of staying in one tone gets to me and makes my ears perk up. I'm told the track is about 7 minutes in length but they are trying to cut it down. The groove is quite good and I can understand when recording it, you just keep going and don't want to stop. Either that or there may have been a bass player who just wanted to keep going.

We take a break for some other things to be set up and I'm challenged to some "table tennis" by Andy and her friend, who both whooped me so bad, I felt like I went a few rounds with Floyd Mayweather. Wearing my church shoes was no excuse or else I would use it.

After taking my whooping, we go back into the studio with Andy and a producer making edits. Making sure levels are right in the mix. Andy catches a part where there are hand-claps and they sound off to her. It is something that the producer friend catches onto as well and mentions a white female back-up singer. I say "blame it on the white girl for not clapping on the 2 n 4, why don't you?" and there are a couple of laughs as we continue with the sound editing.

We take a short break to discuss things in the music industry and the force-fed music played to us by radio program directors. During the conversation, Carly Rae Jepson's name comes up with her song "Call Me Maybe" being number one in the nation and how Justin Bieber made a video of the song with his girlfriend Selena Gomez that had over 40 million views and then Carly's song started taking off slowly but surely til it hit number one. It wasn't exactly the love of the song that made Justin cover it, but perhaps because his manager also manages Carly. It was brought out that although she may be number one and had those millions of youtube views, she doesn't own her publishing to make sure she is paid.

After more discussion of the music industry and how Andy can get noticed and played by staying independent, I'm taken back to the studio and then have several tracks from "Superconductor" are played for me.

First up is "People Pleaser" which features Maceo Parker. We heard a sample of the song before but not the full version. Her producer friend states "All those funk cover bands are going to want to start covering this as soon as they hear it." I'm bobbing my head to it, but compared to the other tracks I am about to hear, it doesn't really compare.

Next up is "When Stars Collide" which features a cool bass groove. This song speaks to me. From my ears, to my heart, to my feet tapping along with it. She belts this out and quickly the thoughts come to mind of Betty Davis. I am really digging on this one and cannot wait for you all to hear it.

Next up is "Superconductor" where is she talking bout needing one, and you have to feel that on her search, she is going to find one. We are told that Michael Bland plays drums on this track. There is a lot going on with this song, and Andy is able to keep the groove going. A lot is going on and it is working. It doesn't sound old, it stands out and it is fresh.

Next up is "Gone" which I am told was inspired by an old James Taylor and Carol King special. It just features Andy on vocals and guitar and it is stunning and as Andy put it, "Raw" and wanted to keep it that way even though her friend was really wanting to add strings to the song. It is quite good the way it is. I would have liked to have heard strings but it really doesn't need it.

A few more tracks are played for me, one where the piano playing is going to make Gaga drop her mouth and we bet "lift" it for herself. It was ridiculous how sick the piano player was on it.

There are cuts here on the "Superconductor" CD. Big time. There is a reason why Universal Music is interested in distributing this CD, but at the time of writing, Universal has not stepped up to the plate with the right kind of offer to entice Andy. She is even thinking of taking pre-orders soon of the album on her own web site, ALLOEVOLUTION.COM

The thing is, even without a distribution deal, good music will find a way out there. You look at Adele. You look at others. Andy Allo's "Superconductor" is a CD that must be heard. I've heard people talking. It's someone young singing older music, they say. Quite simply, it is not. There is an ode to the old but what is on there is new and it challenges the listener.

She has legends around her such as Maceo Parker and Prince's band, The NPG, along with Prince himself producing 3 of the 9 tracks on the album. Andy is not sitting on the sidelines when it comes to her music. She is putting in as much input as her producer and it shows.

It is around 4 in the morning and Andy is still giving out directions to the sound engineer, while going through upcoming plans on the "Superconductor" promotion. There are others I have seen that have talent but do not work hard at it. Luck is not enough to get you by. The hard work behind it plays a lot into that and Andy is working hard.

The album is slated for a September release with the title track "Superconductor" likely to be the first single. For those that love real music by real musicians, make sure to support an album such as this one.

There is talk of possibly doing some shows before the album comes out late summer but nothing concrete as of yet.

Like I stated before, good music has a way of being heard, weather you have a major label behind you or not. The road is a little bit harder and you have to put in the work, but Miss Allo is determined to do it. She did not have to say it. It is obvious to everyone around her. She takes her music and her craft very seriously. She may be looking for a "Superconductor" but after this album, you will understand she is one herself.-DocFB
