Vanessa Carlton is out with the music video to her new single ‘Carousel’, the first release from the American singer songwriter’s fourth studio album ‘Rabbits on the Run’, out June 21st on Razor & Tie. “‘Carousel’ is the only song I’ve ever written in a dream that sounded lovely the next morning,” Carlton explained. “The origin of ‘Carousel’ is a dream, hence the dreamscape of the visual. I worked with an inspiring group of artists with impeccable taste. We were careful with its visual symbolism. There is nothing meaningless about it and I hope that comes across. The song is hopeful and it grew out of a very dark place. I think this little film of ‘Carousel’ represents the spectrum of the music and I hope it adds a little spark of something pure and inspiring to the mix out there.” Watch it via YouTube below.

Vanessa Carlton checked in with her Facebook followers on Tuesday (March 22), talking about her participation in a special screening of ‘Frack!’, which explores the natural gas drilling boom in the Marcellus region. Carlton will be performing at the event taking place April 2nd at Mountain View Manor in Glen Spey, New York. Carlton writes:
My homestate, my childhood forest and beloved Delaware river are in trouble.
I am mortified by what has been going on in Pennsylvania and New York State. What these gas companies are doing is hazardous and un-American. This is extremely personal to me. Find out what’s been going on for yourself and, if you can, make a donation, or come check this out……or both!
Best,
Vanessa Carlton
Pocono Record reports a pit bull accused of biting Vanessa Carlton has won a reprieve from being put down and could move back with her owners provided they build a fence around their property. Carlton was jogging past the Teichberg family home in Shohola, PA home May 2nd when she was bit by a dog she later identified as Bella, who was 9 months old at the time of the attack. “I turned and tried to be submissive, and turned into the woods, backing up so it wouldn’t be so angry,” Carlton told the court, adding that as she was turning the dog bit her leg. A mold of Bella’s teeth did not match bite marks on Carlton’s leg following the incident, according to an expert who testified. Read more.

Vanessa Carlton checked in with a new year note to fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (January 26), talking about starting work on a follow-up to her 2007 album ‘Heroes & Thieves’. The New York City based singer songwriter tells readers:
Ummmm, well, I’ve been writing lots of instrumental stuff as of late (perhaps a film will find it soon : ) AND a few weeks ago I started writing “proper” songs. An album (whatever that means these days) is sweetly and organically unfolding. Phew.
Over the last year I’ve collected adventures (sweet, sour and in between) from India, Russia, the arctic, Mars, the inferno, a few absinthe bars, Greenland and a 3 heavenly beaches. Yeah, I suppose I’m looking for something but I’m not quite sure what “something” is yet. I will surely let you know when I find it. I suppose we’re all still waiting on the moon to tell us wassup.
