"If this record doesn’t bring Gibson to the forefront of the singer-songwriter circuit, the genre should be re-examined — songs like these with a voice like hers are rare."
The Ventura County Reporter "The performances are magical in their perfection, and the songs sound as if they were born out of the inner circle of Nashville's elite songwriting circuit." The San Diego Troubadour "A torch singer with bite…she will have you laughing, crying and singing along when you least expect it." www.radioojai.com "Gibson has a set of chops that border on country crooner. (Think about mixing Christina Aguilera’s chops and Jenny Lewis’s bashfully endearing delivery and you get the idea.) A blend of piano based pop and sultry edginess makes Delaney Gibson the real deal.” The Santa Barbara Independent "Delaney Gibson has hit it out of the park on her second album, “Hurricanes and Forget-Me-Nots!" Ventura County Star "Sure, female artists who write their own music are nothing new but, there is something that sets GIBSON apart from the rest...sheer musicality coupled with her unforgettable song craft." www.rockwired.com "Solid songwriting, hook-filled choruses and tasteful harmonies." www.radioindy.com "Her voice is indescribably expressive and rich with a range that goes from throaty growl to sublime soaring ecstasy. Add to that her sizeable talent as a songwriter and you've got a great album." www.musesmuse.com "There isn't a song on this album that lacks an industry-hungry hook and the overall production and musicianship is of star quality." The San Diego Troubadour "A singer and pianist with a powerful voice. Her album is a polished and accomplished effort." www.blog.collectedsounds.com "An undsicovered brilliant vocalist." The Ventura County Reporter "Unique style, intelligent lyrics, and astonishing voice.” San Diego Women's Magazine |

FORGET HER NOT Ventura singer-songwriter comes into full flower on her newest record
By Michel Cicero 11/12/2009 It’s been quite a year for Delaney Gibson. Relationships began, ended and began again. Awards were given, praise rained down, and disappointment often ruled as the singer-songwriter, whom VCReporter singled out as an “artist to watch” in this year’s local music issue, rode out the highs and lows of a life thoroughly lived. But great art usually takes root in pain and sorrow. And it’s a rich mix of such, along with the occasional shower of hope and joy, that allowed her newest record, Hurricanes and Forget Me Nots, to fully reflect the breadth of her talent. While her debut record, Worst Kind of Way, didn’t fail to impress, there was something noncommittal about it — fickle, unfocused, insecure and coy, like a female on the verge of womanhood. With Hurricanes, the girl has matured, and confidence is as powerful in verse as it is in demeanor. If this record, which she wrote in one month, doesn’t bring Gibson to the forefront of the singer-songwriter circuit, the genre should be re-examined — songs like these with a voice like hers are rare, even in a saturated market. Poignant, playful, clever, feminine, heartbreaking and ultimately optimistic, Gibson shows us the strength of vulnerability, the grace in surrender and the beauty that can be culled from life’s most crushing, suffocating moments when we remain receptive despite it all. VCReporter: The title says “drama.” Life has been challenging since your last record? Delaney Gibson: I’m trying to be optimistic but I went through a long relationship and a short breakup. I went through a bad breakup, but the album is about someone else. Meeting someone new propelled me. It was kind of a whirlwind process. I was living on friends’ couches, trying to figure out what I was doing...

Check it out... Delaney Gibson Damn! Just as virtually every musical expectation across this music-dude's board was sunk lower that a well-digger's ass after watching the parade of haircuts that was this years' AMAs, along comes the best freakin' album of the year. Ventura-based singer/songwriter Delaney Gibson has a lot to explain about her debut album The Worst Kind of Way. With the powerhouse voice and musical sensibility the likes of an Alanis Morisette or Melissa Etheridge, Gibson tears up every single song here, from the soaring highs of "I'm Alive" to a new personal fav — and one of the best songs of the year — "I Think I have OCD". Not only is she a great singer and musician, she's also apparently free of all the crap many of today's "artists" are guilty of (one of which is calling themselves "artists"— remember when artists pretty much just did paintings and sculptures?). Every song here rolls into the next — not a damn thing is wasted. You want dark? The title track "Worst Kind of Way" could hold up against any Tom Waits tune. You want a ballad? "Push" is every romantic's anthem. Really, this album is just that good, in fact you should just stop reading this and go to here myspace page and start listening (you can also buy a copy there). Great music isn't always about haircuts, pretty faces and expensive wardrobes (can you say Jonas Brothers? That's our future, fellow babies (vapid 15-year olds with pouty faces and too much eyeliner?) — sometimes it's actually having and nurturing real talent, and Delaney Gibson is an incredible talent, in absolutely the best kind of way. — Brandon Whitehead (posted 12/05/08) Click HERE to read it online! 12.08.08 - ONLINE VOTING OPENOnline voting has STARTED...

Album: The Worst Kind of Way Website: http://www.delaneygibson.com Genre: A mix of country, pop, & adult contemporary Technical Grade: 10/10 Production/Musicianship Grade: 10/10 Commercial Value: 10/10 Overall Talent Level: 10/10 Songwriting Skills: 10/10 Performance Skill: 10/10 Best Songs: I'm Alive, I Think I Have OCD CD Review:
Delaney Gibson's new CD, The Worst Kind of Way features some top level talent at its best. Gibson is an outstanding vocalist, a winner of awards around the world. Her voice is indescribably expressive and rich with a range that goes from throaty growl to sublime soaring ecstasy. Add to that her sizeable talent as a songwriter and you've got the beginnings of a great album. Now bring in LA's most in-demand studio guitarist, Andrew Synowiec, and pedal steel guru, Jesse Siebenberg to co-produce and you've got magic.On the first cut, I'm Alive is a joyful, painful expression of survival. She plays piano and sings, "I'm alive, I'm alive For once in my life I can feel the rain I can heal the pain Through the tears I cry I can touch the sky" The title cut, The Worst Kind of Way, features Gibson playing a quirky banjo while singing of torch song of lust and desire. And it works. My favorite cut, I Think I Have OCD, is a witty look at neurosis and love. Siebenberg's pedal steel is perfect, as usual, and Gibson's vocal is endearingly vulnerable. Throughout the CD, Synowiec's guitars and Siebenberg's assortment of dobros, lap steels and keyboards meld perfectly with a solid LA rhythm section to provide Gibson a musical backdrop to work her vocal magic. The Worst Kind of Way is a solid effort with a lot of commercial potential. Delany Gibson is a force to be reckoned with. I expect we'll be hearing from her for a time to come. 10.08.08 - GUILTY PLEASURES FOR HUMP DAYThe Late Greats Blog Review 09.18.08 - VENTURA COUNTY REPORTER VOTEDThe VC Reporter has named Delaney "BEST MUSICIAN 2008!"
