This is the first I've heard of her. I probably wouldn't go looking for her music. Not saying she's bad, she sounded nice, it's just that's not the style of music I like.
I got a CD and listened once and though, 'Ok, that was kind of weird.'
A few months later I listened again. And again. And again.
There aren't words that describe how much this girl grows on you. She's spectacular.
Someone introduced her to me like....3 or 4 years ago. And yeah, I agree that she really does grow on you. I think I have all of her stuff, and I pretty much enjoy it all. She's so different from what I normally listen to, so every time I choose to it's always refreshing, and relaxing. :heart:
Of course, whenever I listen to her while other people are around I always get the WHOA WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GAYWHAT'S WRONG WITH HER VOICE HUR HUR. *Sigh*
Pretty much my favourite contemporary artist. (Bob Dylan doesn't count as contemporary, right? Right.)
Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful girl.
edit: something about her voice just weirds me out and amazes me at the same time.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I have both her albums, and she really is great. I think she has a gorgeous voice. I must listen to Ys again later today to remind myself how good it is. That bit in Only Skin where Bill Callahan's vocals join hers...
I've seen her at the Royal Albert Hall as well and that was really good.
Yesssss to this thread.
I wouldn't buy it, but I'd keep it if I got it as a present.
She is really unique, and as other people have noted her voice totally grows on you. The first time I heard her I was like "what in die hyell?" But I was intrigued and had to listen again, and again, and the first song I heard was Sawdust and Diamonds which is such an epic song. Not many 4 minute songs can hold my interest, but Sawdust and Diamonds clocks in at over 9 minutes and I just HAVE to listen to the whole song every time.Quote:

Ys is a solid album. Though one time I had it playing in my car and my friend said, "Holy crap, she sounds like Lisa Simpson".
Now I can't unhear it.
I too cringed the first time I heard her. It sounded so childish and unrefined, somehow. Still, it intrigued me, and after maybe a month I decided that I loved it to bits.Quote:

I have all her albums. It's good background music to relax too.
