Danielle Lopresti is part of the revolution. She is an intelligent
singer-songwriter who challenges thoughts, ideas in music. Her debut CD features
a full band including David Zerman on organ, keyboard and guitars, Brad Cummings
on bass, Jason Harrison Smith on drums. Make no mistake Lopresti drives this CD
from beginning to end.
Lopresti was a nominee for the 1999 Los Angeles Music Awards, and her
history reads of chances tried, and the failures and successes that accompany
them. Dear
Mr. Penis Head is a full ranked success. Lopresti has a voice that
varies from subtle whisper to bold majestic. Her songs are filled with more than
subtle sexual innuendo, but also drive with hope for whoever the narrator is.
The songs in Dear Mr. Penis Head are
tactile and alive. “Say It” is a stark view on incest through the eyes of a
child. “Drain Me” is about the struggle of wanting to end a relationship,
with all the anger and bitterness written into it. The title track is a salvo to
all the “Holier-Than-Thou” label heads, and image-makers of the music
industry. “They Got You” reverberates with almost a rap beat attacking the
cosmetic surgery image of the world.
Lopresti, like a Tori Amos, is not for everyone. Her messages are blatant
and written in an addictive manner to keep the listener. Few debut CD’s stay
in the mind long after they’re done like Dear Mr. Penis Head. For more information
