| Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Beth Hart burst onto the musical landscape just four short years ago with her 143/Lava/Atlantic debut, IMMORTAL. Now, after a long journey of self-discovery, both in terms of her life as well as her music, Hart makes her blazing return with SCREAMIN' FOR MY SUPPER, a soulful, adventurous collection of all-new songs. Springing to the surface is Hart's raw, sensual nature, captured in the album's evocative sound and remarkably confident lyricism.

SCREAMIN' FOR MY SUPPER finds the brass-voiced singer moving closer to the commercial mainstream. On IMMORTAL, she sounded like an alt-rock Janis Joplin fronting a grungier AC/DC. On SCREAMIN', Hart retains her tough-mama blues-rock growl, but the album's sound is bigger and lusher, featuring strings, and sampled drums, layers of keyboards from the ubiquitous Benmont Tench. Hart's new songs mostly tend towards conventional-albeit melodically interesting-singer-songwriter confessional plaints. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Entertainment Weekly (9/10/99, p.152)
- "...when Hart lets loose...she unleashes a seductive torrent of hurt and hope." - Rating: BQ (6/00, p.106)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...An extended confessional: sometimes up, sometimes down, but always convincing. Lyrically, she's funny; moving...and feisty. Add to this a sympathetic production...[and] the sum total is part Sheryl Crow, part Aimee Mann, but still very much herself." |
