Los Angeles ________ ... Marié Digby


This post is for mt since she's been hounding us about this girl.

We saw her open for Castledoor a few months ago but we know friends have been scouting Marié Digby for a few years since she won that Pantene contest. Apparently now she's getting tons of buzz with these Lonelygirl15-esque YouTube videos and appears to be managed by a team with some serious marketing savvy with street teams, fan sites, and iTunes exclusives already in place without even having a real release yet (although the "Umbrella" cover is kind of predictable isn't it?).

Anyway, she's got a pleasant enough voice and her songs are Lilith Fair fodder. Plus, her look, styling, and even her name (pronounced 'Mar-ee-ay' like Perrier) will undoubtedly get her on magazine covers and late night talk shows -- she already appeared on Carson Daly earlier this month. So the machine is in full effect but hopefully for her sake she survives it all with a legitimate career a year from now.

Also, on a related note, Mandy Moore's new record isn't doing too well so doing covers of summer hits might spark interest. Well, that's the plan anyway. And while we received hundreds of other covers of the song we won't even go there.

You owe us one, mt.

Marié Digby performs at the Hotel Cafe on 8/31 and has the Tuesday residency there through September.
