Privilege
Allette's first album PRIVILEGE was recorded in CCRMA Studio, Stanford, CA from
January to August 1996, and released in November of the same year. PRIVILEGE was
written, performed, engineered, mixed, mastered and produced by the artist. Featuring
Allette's catchy early tunes "Ladder" and "Passage of Time" this album is raw, passionate,
and unabashedly feminist, as Allette captures how the personal and political merge
in a young woman's life. The album's sound ranges from songs laid down with
only stereo guitar and vocal tracks to songs with several stereo guitar tracks and up
to 6 vocal tracks.
