"The smoky voice and piano playing of singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata have earned her comparison with contemporaries like Norah Jones and Fiona Apple. But her songwriting is unmistakably her own. Hers are songs of heartbreak, arranged simply in a mix of jazz, folk, indie-rock and pop, and delivered in her siren's voice. Like the folk and soul legends whom she grew up listening to, Rachael tells a good story in song, and much of her lyrics is inspired by her own experiences."

I'm going I'm going I'm going! Finally, one of my absolute favorite singers (yes, check my profile) is coming to Singapore for a performance! I love her songs so damn much. Plus, she just said on her myspace that her new album is almost completed! I can't wait, maybe she will play some new songs during the concert! Whee! Her music has been featured in shows such as The OC, Nip/Tuck, and in the movies The Last Kiss and Elizabethtown. I uploaded some of her songs for those who never heard her music, give it a try, you won't regret it.

That is so cool, you're so lucky! She is coming to Copenhagen during the spring, or maybe she has been here already, I don't remember... I noticed it too late so I didn't get any tickets =(

That's too bad, maybe she will swing by there again soon and you can go. =)

OMG "The Reason Why" is one my favorite songs! I listened to it for like 3 months straight last winter.

She's such a unique singer.

I remember her one song a long time ago. But I just don't remember much about her.:/
 
posted by [identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com at 03:57pm on 12/02/2007
I guess people have different taste in music. I really do like her though.
 
posted by [identity profile] alwaysavingme.livejournal.com at 04:00pm on 12/02/2007
Yeah I hope you have fun.

I just can't remember her song.heh The one she came out with. But I know her name is familiar and everything.:)

IT'S SOLD OUT, almost. but i can't be buying cat 1 tickets so boo.
 
posted by [identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com at 06:05pm on 13/02/2007
Wow, that was fast. I didn't know she was so well-known here.
 
posted by [identity profile] frayedgray.livejournal.com at 11:16am on 14/02/2007
yeah but i mentioned to a friend, who said charmed soundtrack?

! the adverts for mosaic music fest JUST came out today (in the newspaper)
 
posted by [identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com at 11:29am on 14/02/2007
Just? Wow. I only knew of the acts in the festival when I walked past HMV last weekend, or I'd never have known about it until it's too late. Can't believe most of the tickets are already snapped up. So will you be heading for Tristan Prettyman's concert?

*screams*

I can't believe we're going!!!

Yay you! :) I've only heard one of her songs before, which I really liked so I'll be more than happy to hear more. Downloading these, thanks so much!
