Album information

Digby started the recording process in early 2006. She worked with important producers, Dave Bassett (Idina Menzel), Mike Daly (Kid Rock), and Tom Rothrock (James Blunt).

Digby rode the internet video channel to a hit iTunes single, a Gap ad, and a song on Smallville. Digby's homemade videos feature her acoustic interpretations of hits by Rihanna, Linkin Park, and others - "Umbrella" being the most popular - and her debut includes more fully realized versions of those songs alongside Digby's originals.

Production
gollark: Wrong.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: "Principal component analysis" from "scikit-learn".
gollark: I, personally, blame Macron.
gollark: This is interesting! I'm testing ways to improve the performance/memory use of the Minoteaur inevitable semantic search thing, and it turns out that using a dimensionality reduction thing on the embedding vectors makes some searches turn out identically, and some using rare keywords like "apioform" turn out poorly.
