Liberman is Vanessa Carlton’s latest solo set and fifth overall. With classical-motif tracks like “Blue Pool,” “Take It Easy” and backward-masking-dense closer “Ascension,” Carlton has seriously upped her game, and is now composing complex etudes that easily eclipse her chiming Grammy-nominated hit from 2002, “A Thousand Miles.” Carlton will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our feature on her.
Carlton: This film is American anime. Some purists look down on such a thing, but the animation is gorgeous and what’s wrong with east meets west. The movie was done by Topcraft, a Japanese animation studio. The book was written by Peter S. Beagle. It’s really good. Mommy Fortuna and the Red Bull haunt me to this day; it’s a crazy story. I will show this movie to my daughter. The end of this film is in my song “Take It Easy,” off of Liberman. Check it.
