Stephanie Schneiderman is a snake quietly shaking her apple in the ears of all too trusting an audience. Her new trip-hop album Dangerous Fruit has many slow, seductive tracks that start out as a soft whisper, and at some unknown point melt into dangerously mesmerizing numbers that make you want more and more.

Waves of ambient drums and electro beats, provided by the two-man backup team of Keith Schreiner and James Beaton, pump in and out and around her delicate but powerful lyrics. This is a record to play for a nightcap at the end of a perfect first date. The music transcends the moment while the sophisticated songwriting pulls you back into it, leaving you with little to focus on other than what's right in front of you... and be it a drink or a date, that’s a good chance to take on losing control in a moment of music.

Sometimes sounding like an early '90s pop queen, sometimes like Björk from her best days (another songstress listed as one of Stephanie's notable influences), this red hot set of vocals wraps the record in a sound all her own, with skillful songwriting and a unique influx of ambient tunes and tones.
