Flawz

Here's something you don't see everyday in Hollywood - a blonde haired gal, with a conscience who sings about embracing her flaws.

Caitlin Crosby is a 24-year-old singer/songwriter who grew up in L.A. and around the entertainment industry. She's seen a thing or two and she's not afraid to address the issues that face her generation.

Her debut album, simply entitled "Flawz," is infused with opulent pop/rock beats, thought provoking lyrics and her signature raspy voice.

Crosby sings with grit, and conviction - and she's not apologizing to anyone for it. Unlike her female superstar counterparts who devote an entire album to songs about the ups and downs of fickle love, Crosby sings about the ups and downs of this fickle thing called "life."

In fact, the only true "love song" on the album is the first single, "Still Have My Heart." But that is just how she wants it. In an interview with PopEater, Crosby explained, "Honestly, I feel like whenever I'm singing the breakup songs and the love songs, it's a waste of time. Maybe if someone likes it, that's cool, but I have zero passion about it . . . cause I don't care."

Refreshing, inspiring and intelligent - these are just a few of the positive words to describe Caitlin Crosby.

"Flawz" opens with the line, "Here I am, here I stand, took a picture of my hand, I bet you can tell it's not manicured." Crosby goes on to name her own personal flaws one by one, including a face that isn't clear, driving too fast, and jeans that are too tight. She doesn't shy away to pretend that she's 100 percent perfect, instead she gets candid in revealing each flaw. Crosby is a sight for sore eyes in an industry whose integrity and moral compass appears to be shot.

"Imperfect Is the New Perfect" is a tune to rethink the way one views himself or herself. Instead of striving to be "perfect," Crosby sings about embracing the "imperfect" that exists within us all. "I don't fit the mold, I am real. Too colorful to conceal," Crosby sings.

Crosby and actress Brie Larson started their own project, called Love Your Flawz. They have created a Web site, www.loveyourflawz.com, which they call "a place to share all of your amazing, unique flaws." Their overall mission is to help "all of us learn to love and embrace them. . . . Imperfect is the new perfect."
