I am hoping that by secretly adding London Grammar's albums to my GF's iPod, she can be weaned from the "all Adele all the time" listening choice. May even sneak in some Cigarettes After Sex and Beth Orton (good idea @ghosthouse ) and set the dap to random play.
Does Hannah Reid of London Grammar have the most captivating voice today?
I have recently discovered the group London Grammar and can't believe that I have not heard of them prior. The trio features Hannah Reid whom I feel has one of the most engaging and beautiful voices currently performing today. The music behind her is really well suited but it is clear, she is the reason for the groups popularity in England. "Hey now", "Flicker" and "Interlude" among others are spellbinding. Am I one of the few who appreciates this fine group or are there others among the Audiogon group?

Yes. London Grammar has been getting a lot of press lately and she has a fine voice. I second Ghosthouse’s Beth Orton recommendation. A couple of my friends in New York are crazy about a band called Cigarettes After Sex. They remind me of the Cowboy junkies and Mazzy Star which is not a bad thing. Here is one of their new singles called "Sweet" ▶ 4:52 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ31pyTZdh0 |
Checked out a few of Beth Orton's and Cigarettes After Sex tracks. I enjoyed them both very much. They did not, IMO, display the same range, distinctiveness and emotion as Hanna. Thanks for the tip as it is always fun to discover and explore new artist of this similar style. Both will get streamed from Tidal often on my system. Cheers and thanks to all. |
