A distinctive voice can do so much. Whether it’s an alien wail from Bjork or a sneering barb from Bob Dylan, the vibration of the artist’s vocal chords is as important as the words they’re forming. Joanna Barbera has one of those voices – a warm, reassuring tenor that always seems ready to tuck you in, no matter how bittersweet her lyrics may be.

Barbera’s debut album, Carnival Beginning, is a richly textured rumination on love, death and religion – and a reality show staple. Since its release in January 2009, six of its 11 songs have been placed on MTV productions like “16 and Pregnant” and “College Life.” Hers is a universal voice, indeed.
