Jem – Come on Closer

All the tracks from Jems debut album have been scattered around my playlists since 2004.
Excellent stuff.
Definitely due for some new fresh tracks from Jem greyone.jpg

Anne Marie Almedal – The Siren & The Sage

[audio:05 Joy.mp3]

Anne Marie Almedal – “Joy” from the album “The Siren & The Sage”

This is a great album, very chilled and relaxing. Every track is quality.
Some tracks do vier off towards Enya style, but not dangerously so.

It is her first solo work after being in Velvet Belly greyone.jpg

Keren Ann – Keren Ann

Keren Ann - Keren Ann

Her latest self titled album is totally up to her usual standards greyone.jpg

I had not seen this video before, the title track from her 2003 album.

Siobhan Donaghy – Ghosts

Siobhan Donaghy – Don’t Give It Up

This was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting a great deal after her pretty weak first solo album “Revolution in Me”. There are some interesting ideas going on with “Ghosts”, and the production is solid.
It’s probably as poppie as I am going to get.

Siobhan Donaghy – So You Say

Taken By Trees – Lost and Found

Taken By Trees

[audio:02 Julia.mp3]

Taken By Trees – Julia

This album got a lot of plays this summer. Sweet, catchy and simple greyone.jpg

Sia – Sunday

Sia - Colour the Small One cover

This girl is just too creative. You must check out her website for the best audio player I have ever seen! (Shame there isn’t a volume control to make it Work Safe…)

Sia – “Sunday” from the album “Colour The Small One”

Poe – Hello

Poe rocks.

It always amazes me that she has never become more popular…
Her two albums “Haunted” and “Hello” still hold up very well indeed.

Poe – ‘Hello’ from the album ‘Hello’
