Thanks to my good friend, Briggs, I’ve found a new love: Borneo born singer/songwriter Zee Avi. At only 23 years old, she was recently discovered after posting YouTube videos of her performing self-written songs of her love and her life. Her soulful voice and folksy sound is what drew me in, and she is my artist of choice when I want something soothing to listen to while I’m working. From her Facebook Profile Zee says, “I get my melodic feel from the simplicity of classic jazz, people singing what they felt with straightforward lyrics and not too many harmonies,” Zee says. “Just a lot of honesty. I’m a girl of simple pleasures.” Lovely.
Here are some of my favorite song’s of her’s:
Anyone who can take an Interpol song and make it sound cheerful wins my vote. You can purchase Zee’s album on Amazon here. Enjoy!
How do you like Zee Avi? Got any artist suggestions that sound similar? Let me know!
