listening to

since Addie has now ruined Regina Spektor for me. RUINER! i have now moved on to Amy Winehouse. i heard about this artist a while back, but was kinda reluctant to really get into. as i am with any new artist, because they pretty much all fail me. not Amy. i've been listening to her since Saturday, when Ryan B and i picked up her Back to Black cd. i know she's been around for a while. she's got a few imports dating back to 2003. but, like i said...i'm usually reluctant to listen to new music.

she reminds me of the 60's girl groups, except more "whisky-laden" than "bubble gum". she's got a touch of Nina Simone, which i totally dig. i lent the cd to a co-worker of mine. she said she reminded her of the jazzy days of Billie Holiday. i don't know about all that, but the girl is good. like i mentioned earlier; 60's girl groups. but don't expect "my boyfriend's back" type lyrics. her lyrics are a tad more "raw", for lack of a better word.

i'm gonna take it to my mom's today so she can copy it. i think she'll like the music... not sure about the lyrics.
