Don't think I will make the upcoming tour, but I am sure it will be a good show.

As much as he annoys me as a person, god DAMN did he write some great songs as a solo artist, as well as his contributions in Pink Floyd.  Such a great song.

Yaya Kim, a.k.a Yaya

Epic 3 volume, 140+ minute album

Korean vocalist, variety of styles, mostly jazz/nuevo tango/alternative/crooner/???

RIYL:  Sade, Joss Stone, Rhiannon Giddens, Sheena Ringo, et al

I think the 2nd volume is my favourite, but I've been listening to it piecemeal, so haven't fully digested the 3rd yet.

Quote

The parts of this album track are divided by genre and atmosphere.

CD1 (Trip-hop, Rock, Funk, Soul, Pop)
CD2 (Nu-tango rock, Jazz)
CD3 (World music, Crossover, Classic, Avant-garde)

So it makes sense that I love the middle disk the most, although all three have some great tracks.

And this is insane, she has a 30 minute EP -- Scarlet Shoes -- which is largely neo-classical instrumental, and sounds nothing like the others.

And the video from the single is crazy dark.  She apparently does the art in the videos herself, too.

Oh, and it sounds like a James Bond song burbling under the surface.  Just a crazy great song.

Alice Sara Ott, Echoes of Life -- largely Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, interspersed here and there with other short pieces.  

That album cover hurts my eyes, though.  

EDIT:  Oh, wow, she (Ott) wrote a piece on this one, albeit based on fragments of Mozart's Lacrimosa.

This:

Echoes Of Life
