It's

not easy to be a pop band unwilling to shove its songs through a radio-friendly cookie-cutter. Louie Says has been struggling to find a large audience for its offbeat yet insinuating blend of funk/rock, and it's a real shame. Smart, subtext-riddled songs like "She" are ultimately more satisfying and likely to age better than most of the trendy stuff that mucks up the airwaves. With its swirling organs, quietly urgent beat, and twinkling guitars, this track sounds quite comfy within the confines of top 40, triple-A, and/or rock radio. OK, programmers, it's time for a few heroes to step forward and herald this finely crafted recording. Then again, it wouldn't hurt for the folks at RCA to put a little extra promotional elbow grease into this project. If it can work for Natalie Imbruglia . . .
