So today I got the chance to have a sneak peak preview of
Emmy Rossum's second album, '
Sentimental Journey'. Rossum is also an acclaimed actress who currently stars in the Showtime series
Shameless with
William H. Macy. She also stars alongside
Emma Thompson and
Viola Davis in the upcoming feature film
Beautiful Creatures, which hits theaters on February 13th. To me personally I always feel like 95% of actors should stick to acting and never try to release music, same goes for musicians who want to act. Emmy Rossum manages to be the 5% I approve of to do both.
Sentimental Journey has Emmy singing cover's of old school tunes. The three standout tracks on the album for me were '
Pretty Paper',
'Summer Wind' and the title track '
Sentimental Journey'. One can grow tired of listening to dub step and auto tune music, its good to get some traditional pop sounds in my head. I'm probably going on a limb here but I'd even like to think she's the female version of
Michael Buble with her music.
