INTERVIEWS

January 27, 2008 - Andy Liotta on Alan Haber's Pure Pop radio show. From the intro: "The Billie Burke Estate's let your heart break is as good as thoughtful pop music gets. Better, even. ...let your heart break is a tour de force you will not soon forget." Listen to the interview


REVIEWS - LET YOUR HEART BREAK


"The Billie Burke Estate has set a benchmark for other artists to measure themselves against. Absolute power pop at its finest. If you love inventive, well crafted, upbeat pop, this is a no-brainer purchase. Flippin’ marvellous. (rated 9.5 out of 10)
   - Colin Meeks, Indie Launchpad

"...one of the best pop albums made in the 21st century so far, because the songs are moving, charming, and irresistible, the type of music that one would never want to get out of their heads."
   - John Book, The Run-off Groove

"This is real life, set to pop melodies to die for."
   - Alan Haber, Buhdge

"The richness of the songs continues to amaze throughout the album...the song arrangements are flawless and the production is superb here. I highly recommend this release."
   - Aaron Kupferberg, Powerpopaholic

"Liotta's vocal control is especially impressive. His voice wraps around words much like Elvis Costello's circa The Juliet Letters, except Liotta moves more deftly between notes than Costello could manage...This is a wonderful and smart album that should attract some positive attention."
   - Hillary Brown, Flagpole

"Liotta's attention to detail, and the inspired craftsmanship of his music sets The Billie Burke Estate apart from the rest of the pack. There's echoes of The Beatles in his arrangements, the wit of Elvis Costello in his lyrics, and a sense of fun that seems to be missing from a lot of peoples' iPods these days."
   - Jim De Goia, Quick Before It Melts

"Andy Liotta, mastermind of the Seattle-based The Billie Burke Estate, works vocals in forgotten ways..."
   - Matthew Montgomery, MusicGeek.org

"This is a well-produced, clean and clear record. In a world where so much is heavy and dark, it’s nice to know that Billie Burke Estate is producing good old-fashioned pop music."
   - Berkeley Place

"Clear catchy lyrics to sing along with and piano chords that accentuate instead of overwhelm give the album an easy listenability level."
   - Mainstream Isn't So Bad...Is It?

"Andy Liotta has created an album, which is both sophisticated and intimate"
   - John Cavanaugh, foxy digitalis

"An interesting melding of hook laden pop nuggets..."
   - The Captain's Dead


REVIEWS - GIVE IT ALL AWAY


"Andy Liotta tops off studied pop-rock craft with homespun charm and a big dollop of sunshine: Seventies-style piano pop with melodies upfront, plus horns and bright hooks."
   - Christian Hoard, Rolling Stone

"Simply put, fans of Randy Newman, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, Elvis Costello, XTC will dig this. Yes, folks, piano-rock with an edge. Strong material too"
   - Kevin Mathews, NightTimes.com

"This is a funny, intelligent, and sad album release....a stylish mix of wistful melodies easily accessible for any tapping foot."
   - Cory Graham, CDReviews.com
