Okay ... where did this chick come from? Where did that voice come from? Madeleine McQueen projects spiritually and soulfully with a beguiling innocence and resolve over a bed of pop-rock splendor and sparkle. But it's far from fluffy; the songs are beautifully crafted and delivered. Proof: McQueen and her band, The Breeze, have recently dropped "Entangled," a pop-rock gem that moves from a whisper to a scream dynamically covering all points in between ... and of course there's that voice. Gave me goose bumps, man; goose bumps.
Madeleine McQueen & The Breeze performs with Swamp Trotter and Evan Meulemans on Friday, March 11, at Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 9 p.m. $5. lovincup.com; madeleinemcqueen.com.
