“The Difference” shows Morgen to be a songwriter with a tap into the market of independent and strong women, without the tendency to take away from femininity. The metaphor comparing a woman to a math equation defies the cliché of pop singers whining about wanting to be treated like more than just a girl. The song, “Joni Mitchell Memory” will have listeners googling “Joni Mitchell”; here's a start: http://jonimitchell.com

“Dark Water Lullaby” and “Pretty Marie” target the world music genre with a bullet headed straight into the heart of deep blues tunes. The quiet dynamic of the vocals and piano melody meld into the background effects of thunder and echoing harmonies. Through listening to the lyrics for “Dark Water Lullaby” one could envision a multitude of themes and ideas from child abuse to natural disasters. Morgen gives us a glimpse into her mindset with the video:

“What's Inside” stirs with the undercurrent of drumming and other instruments one would not expect to find on regular afternoon “adult” radio. Morgen conquers the notion that girls can't rock without becoming some cheesy cliché crooning about sappy shit or strung out in leather like an 80s throwback. Her lyrics speak honestly and come across like a story being told around a campfire where accompanying instruments dance in the shadows of the flames. The irony of lyrics about hunters singing “Kyrie Eleison" and the idea that “we never really know what's inside” until we are left alone to our own devices without the necessary comforts of so-called civilization. Dive, head first, into the debut album, From The Basement, released in February 2010 (and feel good about yourself because all proceeds go to www.ndss.com National Down Syndrome Society), and get excited for the July 2010 release of If You Like This Sort of Thing. Fans of smooth music with edgy ideas, in the style of Ani Difranco at a summer camp sleep away, will certainly enjoy Morgen La Civita. Check her out online at: www.WorldMusicSoulMission.com
