Utterly irresistible and dazzlingly vibrant, Indiana Gregg’s debut album, Woman At Work, skilfully fuses infectious soulful pop with sweeping country rock to create an out-and-out refreshing sound. Reaching over one million views on her myspace page, it's no doubt that 2009 has begun with a bang for Indiana.
Born in the bible-belt of the Midwest, Indiana Gregg’s debut album is the sound of an artist truly coming of age, with world travels and life experience fuelling her highly polished songwriting.
Now based in Glasgow, this mum-of-three has a maturity and authenticity that gives rise to a strong vein of female confidence which courses through her material. From this springs a set of songs that are musically sophisticated and lyrically worldly-wise.
As a child Indiana suffered from a strong speech impediment and underwent years of speech therapy to try and overcome this condition. Music and singing emerged as Indiana’s main avenue of communication, through which she learned how to express her innermost feelings.
‘Woman At Work’ is a document of Indiana’s life, personally described by her as a ‘musical diary’. The album conveys a wide scope of human emotion, from the playful frustrations laid down in the catchy ‘Oh Me Oh My’, to the beautifully melancholic meanderings of ‘Love Is Blind’.
The album title is self-revealing, a pointer towards a woman who has lived a life day-to-day, bringing up her three children and simply getting by.
Indiana says: “As I worked on these songs I started to recognise who I was and where I wanted to be. Artistically it was a kind of revelation which became the storyboard for songs on the album”.
After recording the album ‘The Hits Reloaded’ with Kool & The Gang and supporting Wet Wet Wet on tour, Indiana camped out in a studio for much of 2006, creating her first major release with Wet Wet Wet’s producer Ian Morrow. The album is funded in part by Ingenious, a new arts trust that provides financial support for talented independent artists and bands.
