New track "Dear California" Premieres Today on Wall Street Journal.com

New Album Rabbits on the Run Out July 26th - Pre-Order Available Now!



Vanessa Carlton has debuted the new track "Dear California" from her forthcoming album, Rabbits on the Run (Razor & Tie), today on Wall Street Journal.com. Click here<http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/06/27/first-listen-vanessa-carltons-dear-california/> to check out the track.

Set for release on July 26th, Rabbits on the Run, is the most honest and uncompromised album Vanessa Carlton has recorded to date, revealing a striking departure and an exciting snapshot in the evolution of this exquisite storyteller and inventive musician.  The album is available for pre-order now, including a deluxe pre-order packages that includes acoustic versions of Rabbits on the Run tracks "Tall Tales for Spring," "Carousel" and "London" as well as music videos for "Carousel" and behind the scenes footage from the making of the album. Vanessa Carlton recently released the video for first single "Carousel," directed by Jake Davis (Flyleaf, My Chemical Romance), here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ0FlbeIFwE>.

Vanessa Carlton is currently on the road playing a select set of dates including three sold-out nights at Joe's Pub in New York City. A full tour in support of Rabbits on the Run is to be announced.  Carlton will perform on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in July in support of the album as well.

Rabbits on the Run, three time Grammy nominee Vanessa Carlton's fourth studio album, was recorded in the UK at Peter Gabriel's world-renowned Real World Studios with producer Steve Osborne (U2, B-52's, KT Tunstall). The album finds Vanessa Carlton returning to music-making its most organic form to create ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded directly to tape with her close-knit team of collaborators including Steve Osborne, Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket,  and Ari Ingber of The Upwelling (all playing on the album). Partly inspired by two books, Richard Adams' Watership Down and Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time,   Rabbits on the Run is 10-song set of gorgeous, haunting melodies and finely-crafted stories, including the lush first single "Carousel," the ambient and eerie "Hear the Bells" and the propulsive "London."

Early praise for Rabbits on the Run:

"Vanessa Carlton again demonstrates her knack for pensive, piano-driven pop on 'Carousel'
from Rabbits on the Run."  People Magazine

"Wistful, piano-led balladry, but there's a touch of darkness and complexity on display here that wasn't as apparent on her earlier hits.... she's certainly not just another sensitive girl with a piano...."  Rolling Stone

About Vanessa Carlton
 Three Grammy nominations, three studio albums, platinum sales and a collection of hit songs are some notable results of a fruitful career thus far for Vanessa Carlton.  She first exploded onto the scene in 2002 with her stunning debut Be Not Nobody, and world-wide hit single "A Thousand Miles."  Vanessa Carlton first began playing the piano as a toddler, continuing on an artistic road with her attendance at the School of American Ballet in New York, a path she would eventually abandon in favor of songwriting. While studying at Columbia University in New York City, Carlton was signed to Interscope Records and has since released three albums featuring songs such as "A Thousand Miles,"  "White Houses," and "Nolita Fairytale."  Carlton's music has resonated with audiences of all ages world-wide and she continues to inspire an increasingly loyal fan base.
