With her new album THE REMINDER coming out shortly, I wanted to see what others thought of this Canadian songstress.
Her last album, LET IT DIE, featured some solid work, and some that was quite poor as well. She's actually pretty hit or miss in general for me. Her recent update of Nina Simone's See-line Woman (which she has entitled Sealion Woman?) is pretty craptacular and pointless, imo.
She does have a lovely voice, on record at least. She sounded as if she were straining on all of the live recordings I have heard of her.
I guess my point is that I'm torn over my feelings for her. She certainly didn't manage to grab my attention/emotions in the way that female soloists like Bjork or Cat Power did, but some of her stuff has indeed grown on me.
Thoughts?
