"I've always been drawn to dark, eccentric personalities," says Los Angeles singer songwriter Aimee Mann. On Smilers, her 7th solo CD, Mann presents thirteen exquisitely-crafted new songs about the inner life of people living far from the bright lights of success or fame.
Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Aimee Mann's first ever Christmas album is a collection of holiday classics and two original beautiful and bittersweet songs written by Aimee Mann and Michael Penn.
Reminiscent of classic albums of the 40s & 50s, but without any retro kitsch. Like Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and Peggy Lee, Aimee Mann captures the emotional beauty of Christmas.

The new Grammy award-winning album from this Oscar nominated singer/songwriter. Aimee Mann songs have a literary quality to them--sharp, short stories set to music--so it was probably inevitable that she would one day make a concept album, the musical equivalent of a novella. The Forgotten Arm, her fifth solo release, is exactly that: a dozen songs that tell, rather loosely, the story of John and Caroline as they meet, fall in love and road trip across America.
