    Billy Joel's Daughter Makes Solo Debut

    Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:14:22

    Alexa Ray Joel clearly learned a trick or two from Dad


    Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of piano man Billy Joel, quietly released her debut first EP Sketches in late 2006, but she is making a bigger splash this spring, with appearances at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on April 28th and on Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 10th. The EP showcases her ability to play catchy piano-pop in a style similar to her father's, but listeners will be surprised to hear echoes of artists like Norah Jones and Corinne Bailey Rae in her music, as well.

    Sketches is being sold exclusively through Target and the iTunes Music Store. Look for more music from Joel when she releases her first full-length album later this year.

    Sketches tracklist:

    01 Heart of Me
    02 Now It's Me
    03 Don't Let It Bring You Down
    04 Revolution Song
    05 Resistance
    06 Song Of Yesterday
