INFLUENCES:

IMHO: Cat Power has always been in my playlists but kind of in the background; every once in a while a song will pop up and I will listen to it. But lately, and since I started playing "The Greatest" in my bedroom stereo, I have become more aware of the real power of Cat Power. I am being seduced by Chan Marshall. It was also because of a stupid jewelry commercial that featured a snippet of a song that I believed she recorded for that commercial. This voice requests special attention. I really want to see her live. On a side note, Chan is one of these performers who, like P.J. Harvey, you'll hear them sing and you'll be like "Wow! What a voice!" and then you hear them on interviews and their voice is so different... Oh, well, that was the side note. Spanish singer Luz Casal is one of those cases too. I can never match the spoken voice with the singing voice. It doesn't sound like the same person.
Anyway, I'm planning to do some serious listening of this lady and shall write more afterwards.

FAVORITE SONGS: "Rockets", "He Was A Friend of Mine", "He War", "The Greatest", "Willie".
FAVORITE ALBUM: "The Greatest"
