7th Annual IMA Vox Populi (Punk Song) Winner Aimee Allen Releases New Album Today

Aimee Allen's new album, A Little Happiness, hits shelves and Internet outlets today.

Here's an excerpt from her interview with Venus Zine:

Aimee Allen is on a mission. One that makes people feel less alone — bringing beauty where there is none, light where there is darkness, love where there is hatred, and understanding to the people who the world thinks are mad.

“I'm not so disillusioned that I think I can save or change the world,” says the Grammy-nominated songstress and former co-host of the “Suicide Girls” radio show. But she can still hope to heal injustice through her music.

On her new album, A Little Happiness (Side Tracked Records), Los Angeles–based Allen is at her most vulnerable and beautiful. The rage that fueled her 2003 supposed-to-be debut, I'd Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up In the Morning, — which remains unreleased due to the Elektra–Atlantic Records merger — and even her 2007 collaboration with Unwritten Law frontman and former boyfriend, Scott Russo (Scott & Aimee: Sitting In a Tree) is long gone.

The girl who roared, “I won’t be your queen for just one day / Got so much fucking fuel that you can't stop my fire!” on the Independent Music Award–winning Scott & Aimee song, “Miss America,” is now the woman who croons “I’m just like you, I bleed / Sometimes it hurts so bad that I can’t breathe” on Happiness’ “Lean Into Me.”
