In 1994, Bonham started writing music and released her first song, “The One”, which appeared on the compilation album Girl , released through the Boston-based Curve of the Earth label. Thereafter, she sent a four-song demo tape (featuring “The One”) to Brett Milano , music critic of The Boston Phoenix , in June 1994; Milano praised the demo, and a major label bidding war occurred shortly thereafter. In 1995, Bonham issued her debut EP , The Liverpool Sessions , through the CherryDisc label, which brought her additional local acclaim; after its release, she signed to Island Records .
