"Sarah Slean Gets Confessional"(Tandem)
Toronto songstress Sarah Slean may have given her new fifth album the name of her alter-ego, The Baroness, but the personality explored on the disc is decidedly her own. It is her most lyrically direct and confessional yet, as she explained to Tandem recently...

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman (AOL Music)
Whatever happened to the renaissance artist? Y’know, those multifaceted talents who could just as easily sing an aria as paint a portrait, or effortlessly toss off lines of lyrical poetry in between composing tricky melodies.

"The Baroness" by Sarah Slean, published in Nuvo Magazine
It's 2002, dead winter, a few days before New Year's. Mean wet cold prowls the city. I am silent on the couch in my warehouse apartment after crying for what might have been 4 hours. I have thrown the phone against the wall and its electronic guts are splattered all over the floor. My pajama sleeves are streaked with snot. I feel like a gutted fish.
