这个顶着一头红发的女生可不是那个摇滚界的奇女子Tori Amos,这个不玩摇滚的流行乐/民谣歌手叫做Bonnie McKee,很遗憾的是她在2004年发行的专辑Trouble在台湾并没有公司代理发行,也就是说她在台湾的知名度应该接近等于零。 像Bonnie McKee这样漂亮且拥有充满穿透力歌声的女生真的很少,但是她最特别的地方是在于她不像Avril Lavigne那一类的女生一样,表面上不断宣称自己是摇滚歌手,但实际上却大唱着旋律流行到不行的歌曲,Bonnie McKee不是个Rocker,但是不可否认的她却拥有一付好歌喉,听她的歌曲非常的舒服,好听不作作的流行音乐,是在对Indie音乐产生间歇性冷感时最好的调剂品。

Classically trained pianist, singer/songwriter, and pop rebel Bonnie McKee spent her formative years in California. Growing up in a musical family helped develop her love for the theater and her move to Seattle found the artist singing in the world class Seattle Girl's Choir. At the age of 12, the precocious tunesmith recorded a demo of popular covers. The responses were positive, but all involved agreed McKee would do better writing her own songs, and a new demo featuring original material was cut. After a period of social awkwardness and teenage rebellion that saw the singer kicked out of high school, her songs caught the ear of Reprise records. Recording commenced and the single "Somebody" appeared on the soundtrack to the hit comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. McKee also appeared on the television show American Dreams as a young Janis Joplin. Featuring a dozen self-penned tracks, produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day) and Bob Power, her debut Trouble was released in 2004.
