One word to describe her.... cute. And yes, she's a redhead

Check out 'Fidelity', it's a very differnt style of music, i dont know what category it would fall into, so ill just say it's alternative for now. Very quirky

Enjoy !

Oh gosh.... I work at American Eagle, where we blared her music all day. I still to this day have that high pitched "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." (Repeat in excess)

No link, no listen.

Also, you click your tongue at someone who plays the music you recommend? Why?

I've been racking my brain for 15 minutes trying to figure out why I recognize the name of someone who I've never listened to. FInally I figure out the iTS was offering the song free some time ago.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he doesn't like AE.

I first saw this video (Us) over a year ago and loved it.

"'Jelly Hat' sounds silly," I told Prince. "How about something poetic, like 'Raspberry Beret.'"

The genre is anti-punk, according to wikipedia.

I admit that I am hooked on 'Fidelity'. I love the song. But the rest of her library is pretty good too.

Not a huge fan of AE. not to mention the whole "corporate"-ness of it all.

Gosh, must be the red hair... damn she's cute.

I noticed the "anti-punk" thing mentioned on wiki...was a bit confused, cause i never heard of that genre before. i guess the instruments used are very different, and this music has more of a european sound to it, as opposed to the American punk/garage sound.

PS>> she's on iTunes w/ videos

What is this VH1?

She's not bad but I kinda hate her for that Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha bit that took ages before it stopped rattling around my skull.

My experience is if the first song I hear has tooo catchy a hook I tend to avoid them later on, for better or for worse.

"On the radio" is her best song. Or maybe "Us". Fidelity was so-so.

She's an amazing artist capable of a wide variety of sounds and genres. Good stuff.

And of course, pick up your timeline on the way out Hawk

She reminds me of a cross between Tori Amos and Fiona Apple only quirkier (that's a good thing.)
