Excellent songwriting combined with some raw, simple vocals and naked production; this album dares to "stray" from Andrea's usual straight ahead pop mentality and is definitely worth a few listens.

Details:
Toronto singer/songwriter, Andrea Florian has been writing and performing for the last 10 years. Picture This is her 4th full length album to date.

Produced by the acclaimed John Switzer (Jane Siberry), Picture This was a labour of love that was in the works for three years. Florian's best work yet, the record is a natural progression of her trademark folk-pop sound and honest poetic lyricism. Featuring collaborations with local guitarist Tracy Jones and several high-profile musical guests (including Big Sugar's Al Cross & Kurt Swinghammer), Picture This is the latest chapter in a remarkable musical career.



With three other well-received albums on her own Bathsheba Records label, Florian is the epitome of the hardworking indie artist, booking her own tours to Australia (where she appeared on the national music channel), the U.K., and Europe, as well as frequent trips to the U.S. Her enthusiasm and perseverance even landed her a coveted full-page feature in Billboard Magazine, which wrote, "Florian's career is heating up."



A three year hiatus from the music scene & the grind of touring has enabled Florian to recharge her musical batteries. She has written enough new songs for several more albums, including many works that revisit her first love... the piano.



Look out for a sampling of Andrea's new songs to be released fall 2008. (digital only)
