Danielle Aument –Songs For You
2012, Danielle AumentChicago-born singer/songwriter Danielle Aument was born forthe stage.  Starting out in musicaltheater, Aument quickly transitioned from singing the songs of others tosinging her own.  At the tender age ofeighteen, Aument shows a poise and grace beyond her years, and she’s started tocatch the ears of industry cognoscenti. Aument’s debut EP, Songs For You,shows a capable artist who is beginning to figure out what her sound is and isnot.

Songs For You kicksoff with “What You Mean To Me”, a solid pop love song reminiscent of Jessica(Jacobs) Riddle.  It’s a fluffy littlepop tune with a memorable chorus. Aument’s voice is exceedingly pleasant and very radio ready.  “All The Time” is a bland dance/pop tune thatis moderately saved by Aument’s voice. “Star Lights” is a still life of sorts in song.  The simplistic arrangement is made morecomplex by layered sounds and a full-bodied pop arrangement.  It’s a solid listen with mild commercialappeal.  “Stronger Now” is a simplifiedlight dance/pop number.  The lightweightfeel of this tune doesn’t match up to Aument’s voice.  SongsFor You takes a bow with “Once Again”, exploring relationship angst in themedian strip of the pop music super highway. It’s a solid effort that might pop the radio bubble, if briefly.Danielle Aument has a voice worth spending some timewith.  Unfortunately the material on Songs For You is born of generic poptemplates that do little to enhance to her general appeal as a performer.  There’s enough here to cause listeners toseek out Aument and see what she might do next, but without a bit morechallenging and inspiring material it will be hard for Danielle Aument to standout in the crowded field of pop music.
