Nice shot! Her new album, "The Only Thing That Matters" really rocks! It's available on http://www.staranna.com digitally but the physical CDs haven't released yet. Nice sound clips on her site also.

Brooklyn Benjestorf commented on Angela Easterling's blog post 'YouTube surprise!'

As a "starving artist" myself, I very much appreciate the marketing aspect of putting a small handful of full-length songs on sites like MySpace and the like. However, straight-up grabbing someone else's work and using it for other…
