Like Blood Like Honey
Machine Shop reports: The sultry vocals and poignant lyricism of Holly Brook have just begun their emergence onto the music scene. For years now, this 20 year old singer-songwriter from Wisconsin has been documenting her life's trials, tribulations, and triumphs into lyrics that are at once strikingly personal, yet universally appealing. Her musicianship, songwriting, and multi-instrumentalism are a testament to her status as one of the fastest rising singer-songwriters of this generation. 

She first broke onto the scene as the hauntingly affecting voice featured in the chorus of the FortMinor song, "Where'd You Go." Since touring with Mike Shinoda and Styles of Beyond- the core of FortMinor- she has readied herself to take on the spotlight propped up on nothing but her own two feet armed with her guitar and piano. Her debut album, LIKE BLOOD LIKE HONEY hitting shelves on June 6, is an intimate collection of dusky, sepia-toned piano-driven pop gems.[see full story to check out the "Curious" Video]- Click Here for the Full Story
