| | Bonnie McKee : Trouble - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | It's an unfortunate trend, not just for us out here in the audience but for the performers themselves, who are often forced to put out make-or-break debuts before they've really had a chance to find their voice. |
 | | Case in point: 18-year-old singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee, whose debut album Trouble is strewn with tantalizing hints of an immense talent, buried under piles of glossy, fussy production, trite, derivative tunes, and confused, pop-tart packaging. |
 | | Elsewhere, as on the bloated rocker "When it All Comes Down," she's polished to such slick anonymity that she may as well be recording a jingle for life insurance. |
