Another song that I found on last.fm is GIVING IT UP FOR YOU by HOLLY BROOK


I quite honestly don't know anything about her and this is the only song of hers that I know but it really is a jewel....like one of those precious songs that you find every now and then...I don't know if its the actual song though, its more its actual composition....its got a really nice blend of instruments and cleverly uses the off beat in the verses to sort of add an unsuspected twist. I starts with some plain piano chords but still effective you know, just really basic yet so pretty piano harmonies. 


I love Holly Brook's voice...I am not usually a huge fan of "rough" voices but she has a wonderful diversity where she can have this rustic unusual voice and then later int he song, we hear it change to be really pretty and feminine and gentle so for me, she's definitely and artists to keep tabs on. 


It is such a stunning song....I think I'm going to try to giving some sort of rating just to show how songs compare for me. This is just my opinion so if you disagree that is completely ok too. So for me, I think I would five this song about 86% (yeah, I really love it).....


Its really interesting though because Brook is actually now known as Skylar Grey who is a lot more famous and well-known under that name so you can also check out some of her songs as Grey for example I love COMING HOME. It just really shocked me because I know Skylar Grey but only just found out about Holly Brook and turns out they're the same person although Skylar definitely did some changing in her voice since because she sounds very different. I cant say which I prefer better because I only know a few but Holly Brook's voice is really beautiful in this song. 


listen to it...NOW, it will be worth your while...

I know, HOW weird that they are the same person?!
