"Thorns On A Crown", the latest EP from alternative Rock singer/
songwriter Kirsten DeHaan, is available for purchase today via major
online retailers iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Napster. Distributed by
Oseao Media Group, the five song EP is sure to please. Kirsten's voice
and signature style has a mixture of qualities that critics have
called: "the sweetness of Liz Phair", "a soft, airy quality like that
of Sia", and "the rich alto of Fiona Apple".

"Thorns On A Crown" is by far her most mature work to date. In the
current etch and sketch environment of musicians singing to beats
generated by machines, it is refreshing to find an artist who
wholeheartedly exudes meaning and truth, a feat that only a genuine
musician can accomplish. She may be considered a newcomer to the music
industry, but there is enough raw passion, talent, and promise on
"Thorns On A Crown" to say definitively that Kirsten DeHaan will
around for many years to come.
DeHaan has been invited to host her NYC EP release event during TM
Promotions' CMJ Music Marathon Showcase on Thursday, October 22 at
BLVD/Crash Mansion (199 Bowery). This follows her EP premier at Colony
Cafe on the closing night of Woodstock's 40th Anniversary Film
Festival (Oct. 4th).

When describing her latest offering," Thorns On A Crown" Kirsten
notes, "This record, without exception, finally exemplifies who I am
as an artist...Its alive, clear, and gripping. I wanted to make a very
raw record, one that can't hide, I think that goal has been
accomplished." She plans to embark on a full-blown press and touring
circuit this year in order to promote the record.
"Thorns On A Crown" Tracklisting:
1) 1984
"1984" skillfully maneuvers its way from beginning to end as DeHaan
puts her vocal range along with a knack for soothing tones to good
use, singing in a soft, but gutsy manner. The guitar playing over a
catchy beat works well with her voice to produce a sultry and graceful
fusion of folk and rock.
2) Double Or Nothing
DeHaan produces a well-crafted, solid folk-rock tune with passionate
delivery over a foot-tapping guitar melody in "Double Or Nothing." The
sharpness of her lyrics and gritty tone gives the song a freshness
That will keep any listener engaged, even after multiple plays.
3) The Night Shift
"The Night Shift" delves into the very familiar territory of love as
DeHaan's candor and humility together make this song easy to relate
to. DeHaan's voice captures the feelings of a woman waiting and
thirsting for love. Even the silences between notes seem to shout out
her vulnerability.
4) I'm Coming Home
A piercing harmonica complements the delicacy in DeHaan's sweet voice
in "I'm Coming Home." The layered sound and musicality gives a classic
rock feel that is emphasized by the 'call and response' between DeHaan
and the harmonica.
5) Ms. Daisy
"Ms. Daisy" builds a sweet melody around the idea of hope. Initially,
the song seems inconspicuous and gentle, but DeHaan's voice is so
melodious and colorful, it quickly works its way into the listener's
heart and soul.
