Crafting thoughtful electronic pop along the lines of Imogen Heap and Feist, English singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Olivia Broadfield wrote and recorded songs in her "rock & roll bungalow" home studio. In 2007, she signed with music publisher pigFACTORY and worked with producer Josh Crocker to polish her songs into her debut album, Eyes Wide Open, which arrived later that year. Her music appeared on TV shows such as The Hills and The Real World, and the video for her song "Indescribable" was featured on the 2009 Grammys. Around that time, Broadfield got a record deal in the States when Vagrant Records signed her; she became the punk-dominated label's first female artist. The imprint reissued a remixed and remastered version of Eyes Wide Open in summer 2009. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
