MP3 Van Muller - Find Yourself Here

ARTIST BIO
Mullerâs songwriting style is a mish-mash of sounds, blending the raw rock aesthetic of the Rolling Stones with the sensual oomph of Chrissie Hynde and the casual grace of Sheryl Crow. As a vocalist, Muller commands the mic with the succulent alto of Hynde or Stevie Nicks and the edgy flair of Meredith Brooks. One thing is abundantly clear from the outset, Van Muller is never happier than when she is on stage. Music isnât just a career for Muller; itâs a way of life. It couldnât be any other way for a girl who started singing in bars at the tender age of seven. Muller takes her music seriously but is the furthest thing from a diva you could find. While the business of making music is a serious one for Muller, itâs also serious fun.
In spite all of the allusions to heroes and rock stars, Van Muller is just a girl who fell so deeply in love with music that she gave up her life and changed hemispheres just to make her dreams come true. Even a few minutes of conversation with Mu

Van Muller is a new rock singer with country and retro roots, so it makes perfect sense that sheâs from that hotbed of that genre â Sao Paulo, Brazil.

But youâd never know it, as Mullerâs music cruises down Route 66 with the top down sounding like classic American rock with a tinge of Nashville, sounding more American than the natives.

Produced by bassist Ken Rich, who brought in heavy hitters like Ben Butler (guitar) Ethan Eubanks (drums) and Time Ries (saxophone), âFind Yourself Hereâ is quite powerful.

After picking up this CD at the post office, I popped it in while taking route 212 home, and the expansive strains of âTake A Rideâ couldnât have suited the drive more perfectly with itâs majestic sound, stocked with slinky slide guitar and Mullerâs soaring voice. Covering a Lennon/McCartney song can be a challenge, but Muller makes it her own, with a yearning delivery and a sexy growl as she empathically shouts âbaby!â with verve. The expansive âIn the Darkâ has an Asbury Park vibe, while âIf This Is Goodbyeâ leans more towards Music City, albeit in a Kim Richey kind of way.

Nasty guitars bring on âMore Than A Showâ as Mullerâs sultry voice serpentines around a leaving song.

Mullerâs voice is an exquisite instrument, at times spectacular, other times subtle and emotive, always convincing and real. Her songwriting is first rate too, so thereâs a lot to like. Maybe it takes someone from far away to truly appreciate straight ahead rockinâ American music that we take for granted.
