Interactive Poll #Fri 13 Female Singer-Songwriters

Triptych: Aimee Mann “Humpty Dumpty”  Of course her voice is very familiar to me, because of the hit material, but haven’t heard this one. (Love John Tenniel’s “Alice” illustrations by the way).  Here she sings of two people, she, who is too broken to make this work, and the other person in her life, in a fairly alt/rock setting.   She warns the other person that she’s irreparable, really a good subjective look, using the Humpty Dumpty imagery.  Heather Nova “London Rain”  Can’t vote for this one, since I know it, but you know already that I enjoy her work.  Pretty guitar, too. 😊  Sheryl Crow “Tomorrow Never Dies”  Huge hit songwriter of course, this time for a Bond soundtrack.   Good song for the purpose, and right in the pocket for a Bond film.  but I like your Aimee Mann selection the best (since I withhold a vote for familiarity with Heather’s song). 

rogerthat:r  Two more from Lianne La Havas:  “Read My Mind” She’s got such a sweet voice.  More upbeat than the first one, I like the plinky things in the background, hope this one didn’t turn out to be who she wrote “Courage,” about.  Very catchy.  “Bittersweet”  Uh oh….just the title, now let’s see what’s going on with her now.  Just love her voice, even though these are all very different from what I listen to, normally.  Here, of course, love has gone wrong again, but this time she’s the one who’s gotten tepid.
