Orianthi “According to You” iTunes Free Single of the Week
October 29th, 2009 by intr0vert
If you’ve seen Michael Jackson’s This Is It or if you’ve been paying attention to AvantTrash.com since June then you’ve been hearing us talk about MJ’s 24-year-old Australian virtuoso guitarist Orianthi. Her solo album Believe was just released on October 24th and her first single “According to You” is the iTunes Free Single of the Week. It’s poppier than most of what we would recommend here (It’s kinda Kelly Clarkson with a guitar) but this woman is defnitely the total package and worth checking out. Download the single and if you don’t like it then it’s still worth the price.

I know you are all curious about the big question: does he look like he’s about to fall over and die, or is he the vibrant performer we all remember? Read on…
