The hugely entertaining Miss Li has a double CD out. The first CD being selections from her 3 wonderful albums, the other CD contains unreleased jems (possibly more enjoyed by those that love her already, I do).
If you are new to Miss Li, then go for God Put a Rainbow in the Sky CD and work back from there.
You won’t be disappointed.

Jessie Poland has her first release.
Not at all challenging but some nice summery tunes for the warm weather.
Her label doesn’t allow embedding of videos, and the one for the single was broken when I popped over to her website. Do a search on YouTube.

I really like Heathers voice, but her albums always seem a bit underwhelming.
I won’t be giving up on her just yet.

Her first release from 1996 is still my favourite of hers, not that I dislike anything she has created. She has been missing off my playlists for far too long.

If you want to see the video for Criminal from Tidal, click here. Sony BMG are being their usual tight arse idiots and disallowing embedding.
