So her new & limited 7" has just dropped…I imagine she’s probably going to be “big” in the very near future. If not I imagine she’s going to at least have a long a successful career in music. The 7" features the tunes below and record stores here are only allowing folk to buy one per person…so expect to see them goind for big prices on ebay & discogs shortly.
The videos match the tunes quite well…there’s something quite nostalgic and sad about them???
Hahaha…I was just saying that a good reason she may find success in the mainstream apart from her obvious talent is the fact she is a bit of a looker. I mean she does look like an innocent stars in her eyes X-Factor contestant…at first that kind of put me off…but after about 30 seconds of watching the first video I was won over and snapped up the 7" quick smart.
It’s not really that often that someone with really impressive & great talent makes it “big” in the mainstream…having the looks she does though may come in handy for her. Regardless it’s pretty obvious she’s going places in the industry.
She’s great but she won’t be big here, or if she is she’ll just have a following in the vein of Mazzy Star or similar. Slow procession music is nothing here unless it has a really crunchy beat or chiptune melody behind it.
Nice. Very soulful. Kind of like a more melancholy Rickie Lee Jones or something. Mazzy Starr is a good comparison too . . . or even some crustier Chris Isaac.
I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. But my wife might like it, and I try to find things that my wife might like which i don’t completely abhor.
I found ten other songs on Youtube of hers, ripped em…hard to match up to those two tracks, but I dig them nonetheless - as a fan of Beth Orton, Lissie, etc.

Yeah the two 7" tracks really are brilliant.
I wonder what’s going to make the album from the other tunes??? I imagine a lot of those other ones won’t be on it.
my prediction: she may end up as popular as Adele, or she may have that “cult” following like Cat Power, and my far off prediction is that the media may try to make her the next Amy Winehouse.
I heard songs throughout Youtube and most of them are not anywhere similar to those singles, not that it’s a bad thing but they are poppier - just lame pop, though.
That’s youtube, though, the final product may have new songs…
Yeah the other songs are no where near the quality of Video Games/Blue Jeans…It’ll be interesting to see how many of those end up on the album. Then again if her label wants her to break through and sell a ton of records it’s mandatory that the album has a heap of generic crap on it.
Actually in retrospect, supposedly most of those songs on youtube were from her first LP, which in that above link said was pulled quickly. So who knows, maybe she will go in a new direction, or will re-do those tracks in some form.
I’m a fan of this woman. Her music kicks ass, and she has those incredible high-speed DSLs. Jesus. I want to see her drink something out of one of those twisty straws.
Calling it. A cover of “Video Games” is going to be on VIDEO GAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEE.
