I've been a bit bored with the new releases these last couple of weeks and Bon Iver's new album won't be available until next Tuesday [Yay!
listen to the entire album here] and so I've been revisiting some older albums that I've neglected. Today I'm listening to
Keren Ann's 2003 album '
Not Going Anywhere
' which I've featured on mixes
in the past.
Keren is an Israeli born singer/songwriter/composer/producer who plays guitar, clarinet, and piano. So much talent. She is based largely in Paris, Tel Aviv, and New York City and I love her French influence the most. She may be one of the best kept secrets and I adore her beautiful, delicate melodies. She has a new album that was released in March, but of all her albums, '
Not Going Anywhere
' is my favorite. I especially love that it's stacked full with 17 tracks, 11 in English, and 6 in French.
My favorite tracks: '
Not Going Anywhere
', '
Right Now & Right Here
', '
End of May
', '
Spanish Song Bird
', '
By The Cathedral
', '
Sit In the Sun
', and '
Jardin d'hiver
'.
P.S. if you live in the Seattle area, she will be playing at
The Triple Door [my favorite venue] this Friday.
