Album Details“Singer Coral Egan is getting a lot of media attention these days, but as she tells Mark Miller, she’s not letting it distract her ” - The Globe And Mail
Justin Time Records was just one of the record companies interested in signing singer/songwriter Coral Egan. We’re very pleased that our offer prevailed; My Favourite Distraction is the exciting result of our labours.
The Montreal-based artist’s first recording, The Path Of Least Resistance, revealed a great voice with a rare, resplendent phrasing style able to cast a fresh light on standards. With this new album, Coral Egan shows her highly personal approach to songwriting and reveals her talents as a complete artist. Involved in every aspect of the production, from the lyrics, the music and the arranging, Coral also plays both piano and guitar. But it’s the voice, first and foremost, that will captivate you.
Coral Egan’s music was influenced by aspects of soul, reggae, folk, pop and jazz, creating a focused, fresh and innovative hybrid all her own. The daughter of singer Karen Young, Coral was from an early age immersed in music - and it shows. At eleven, she joined her mother on stage singing a Brazilian composition a cappella, and her first song-writing efforts came soon after. Regardless of the genre or the language of the song, Coral Egan charms her audience with her committment to excellence, authenticity and above all, her passion for music.
