Give The Gift Of Music This Holiday Season! Last Minute Gift Ideas For Your American Dream Man

Where Are They Now? American Idol Semi-Finalist, Leslie Hunt, released her debut CD in September, Your Hair is On Fire and it's first radio single "American Dream Man" to rave reviews!



    SKOKIE, IL, Former American Idol contestant (season 6 semi-finalist) Leslie Hunt has released a new album 'Your Hair Is On Fire' (Ellenel Records). 'Your Hair is on Fire' is a product of passion and tragedy, helped along by the talents of drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell) and bassist Vail Johnson (Stevie Nicks, Herbie Hancock). In Leslie's own words, "Many of the songs on Your Hair Is On Fire were written as an observation of someone on the path to self-destruction, hence the title, but the overall theme is optimistic, as I have most certainly learned volumes from such darker times."
First single to radio is the up-tempo pop song written by Leslie: "American Dream Man"

"The song [American Dream Man] is catchy with a capital C..."
-BJ Crock, American Idle Today.

"...sample the buoyant power-pop of the album's title track [Your Hair is on Fire] before heading out for the first of two local record release shows."
--Andy Downing, special to Chicago Tribune

"I love its unique perspective [Your Hair is on Fire]: voice sultry as a pop princess, heart as strong as a folk goddess..."
--Jacob Clifton, TWO

"She maintains her balance through music, and her new CD is evidence of that. Part dark and moody, part light and poppy, the album serves as the audio diary of a life set to sound."
--Jonathon Bullington, Triblocal

"Her [Leslie Hunt's] music is a funky type of pop that is not too harsh and not too sweet and most importantly it is very appropriate for little ears, is the kind of music you can listen to in the car while driving carpool!," said Beth Engleman, mommyonashoestring.com co-founder and blogger.

"Leslie Hunt is truly the most exciting, dynamic, talented young artist I have worked with in many years. ...the CD shows her range and depth that by all rights should propel her to the top of the heap as one of the very best new artists of our time."
--Rick Chudacoff, producer
