i walked all morning to lift my heart

I've been a huge fan of Emiliana Torrini for some time, but I just can't seem to get enough of her newest album, Me And Armini. This Icelandic singer-songwriter has a large fan base across the world. Her last album, Fisherman's Woman, was on my playlist a ton in 2005, but this new album may have passed it as my new favorite. Her gorgeous and soft voice is whimsical, and will grab you from the start. You also may have heard her music featured all over the place on Grey's Anatomy, and while I think the show sucks these days, I have to give them credit for their great musical choices. Anyone who enjoys a beautiful girl who sings gorgeous melodies needs to give this woman a listen, you will fall in love.

Miranda Lee Richards is a singer-songwriter who hails from San Francisco. Her soothing vocals are reminiscent of singer-songwriters from an older era. Miranda claims Mazzy Star was an inspiration for her and you can hear tastes of them in her music. Fans of Neko Case will enjoy her stuff, along with anyone who is a sucker for a girl with a guitar.

St. Vincent is a spunky indie singer-songwriter who is releasing her sophomore album in May of this year. The Strangers is the first single and track from the album and if it's any idea how the rest of the album will be, I'm excited. Her debut album, Marry Me, was a favorite of mine with great tracks like "Now, Now." Her beautiful voice continues on this next release. Can't wait to hear the rest...

I'm a man eater

Neko Case is wonderful, enough said. For those who don't know her, she's a pretty lady who sings some pretty alt-country songs. She has a new album coming out March 3rd, called Middle Cyclone. I've had a few listens and it's simply lovely, just like her.
