about

Honest, soulful, empowering, beautiful...all words to describe
singer/songwriter Shelly Bhushan. Whether she's singing about
a growing house plant, a dying computer, or the City of NY, she
expresses herself so honestly, so completely, that it often moves
people to tears. Gifted with an incredibly powerful voice, Shelly
draws on a depth of emotion that ranges from desire to defiance,
longing to exhilaration. It’s as if her soul reaches out to yours
when you hear her sing--real, without a trace of pretentiousness.

Shelly's new album "Something Out of Nothing" is roller coaster ride
of emotions thoughtfully woven together like a tapestry. It’s a bittersweet story of living and striving in the most marvelous city in the world: NYC.

There are some big tracks on this record--anthemic, even. The title track is an ambitious, inspirational opener that grabs the listener by the earlobe. The crunchy guitars and infectious chorus of "Flickering" take female-fronted Rock to a new level. "Who Do You Think You Are?" delivers deep funky drums and bass. The beautiful "Feather" begins as a simple ballad and builds throughout, culminating in a dark, unexpected twist. Some songs are seductive and enveloping, like the quiet storm vibe of "Never Let You Go" and the slinky patience of “Intoxication”. The ballads are sparse and sweet, with room for
Bhushan’s vocals to fly, like "Blinded" and “Unrequited Love Song”.

One of the most impressive aspects of "Something Out Of Nothing" is its wide variety of songs, and how the record flows like a story--not in the same way as a progressive rock concept album or a folk ballad, but an emotionally driven, very real journey. The soundscapes, the arrangements, and Shelly’s ever-soulful undertones bind the songs together into a cohesive whole. The more you listen to this record, the more you hear.

Fans have likened Shelly and her band to Donny Hathaway, Alicia Keys, Hall and Oats, Aretha, a soulful White Stripes,
a female Bruno Mars...

It's hard to pin down, but the inability to classify her is the very thing that makes Shelly's music so interesting.
