Excited
From indie MP3 blog Aurgasm comes a post (with limited-time-only MP3 downloads, shh!) of singer-songwriter (and Korean American) Priscilla Ahn.
While I can appreciate any artist who can adeptly play and loop the harmonica, guitar and bells for a single song, and often incorporates the banjo, ukulele and even kazoo in her live show; part of me would expect this instrumental overkill to hide a less-than-stellar voice. But not Priscilla. Her voice can only be described as ethereal, and carries a sense of hope and innocence in songs whose lyrics aren’t always so untarnished.
Priscilla, who has recently signed onto Blue Note records, has a very airy quality similar in style to that chick from Sixpence None the Richer. I find myself listening to Lullaby over and over again, which says a lot since as we speak I’m currently in a Hong Kong hotel room and should be out and about sightseeing.
How does this post make you feel?

I download Priscilla Ahn songs. I like so very, very much, Ernie. I thank Ernie for the nudge in the right direction.
How come we never posted on Rachel Yamagata? (I probably massacred the spelling of her name...) Loves(!) her music!! Priscilla Ahn is right up there, too! Yummy!
Aurgasm is the bestest... and Blue Note Records are the bestestest.
