More of wot I have heard…

Eliza Doolittle self titled album

Eliza has created a fun, self titled debut album that has many enjoyable and upbeat poppy songs in a similar style as Lily Allan, Katy Perry, Kate Nash or Amy Macdonald.

We got this as Sue’s current favourite track is Pack Up which has a great chorus with lines from the old war tune ‘pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag’ sung by a black guy with a wonderful voice.

These Friends of Mine by Rosie Thomas

We have Rosie’s first album after hearing her on KEXP (one of the best non-commercial radio stations in America), and we were bowled over by her fragile and beautiful voice.

This album has her collaborating with various other artists such as Damian Jurado and Surfan Stevens to great effect. Again her gentle, haunting voice gives the songs a wistful, melancholic or romantic feel to them depending on the track.

Nice and easy restful experience.
