One thing I absolutely LOVE is music. As a little girl, I even wrote and recorded my own songs with a little tape recorder. Today one of my favorite, albeit little known, artists popped up in my rotation of tunes. Have you heard of Alice Smith? I don't know why music lovers haven't caught on yet! What I like most about Smith, besides her unique sound, is that she doesn't have a gimmick. She takes the stage just as she is, as if to say, "F*** it. I'm here to sin
g - period." Not that there's anything wrong with a costume (some of my favorite artists wear elaborate wigs, stick feathers in their hair, paint their faces, etc.) It's just refreshing sometimes. There's something raw about a singer rocking a simple tee and jeans. It's like she just strolled into the joint and felt the urge to sing. In fact, when you see her, you may think someone from the crowd just hopped up on stage...until she opens her mouth that is.

Dream is my favorite too! Well Dream and Do I actually. They're tied. I thought you knew! Alice Smith is the TRUTH.

When she sings, something about her voice reminds me of KT Tunstall...odd since Tunstall is Scottish. I love being exposed to new artists...thanks and keep em coming.

Nicole - I've never listened to KT Tunstall. I'll have to check her out.

I just burned her Cd in my iTunes. I have had her Cd for about 6 months now just sleeping on it. Then I heard Dream on The L Word, and I was like hey I know that song. Better late than never.
