Have you guys HEARD of this girl? She is 19 years old and she is one of the most interesting new artists that I have ever seen. She combines the piano work of Norah Jones, although much more elaborate and complicated, with the raps and freestyles of Eminem. She doesn't rap on all of her songs, but when she does....wow, stand back. She combines her piano skills with hip-hop beats and raps over them. She doesn't rap about "bitches and ho's" and things like that. She is very political in some of her rhymes. To get a feel for that song, I'd highly recommend listening to "Sari" which is said as "sorry" but she used a weird spelling. Don't ask, I have no clue why.
Then, listen to something like Manhattan Avenue, which sounds like pure Jazz. Amazon has clips of both of these songs. She is unlike anything I have ever heard. I ALMOST bought her album, Get Away From Me last night at Best Buy, but I hadn't heard enough to spend the money. I really regret it though because now that I have heard more, I am in love.
She performed her single, The Dog Song, on Letterman a while back. Some of you may have seen it. I missed it, but I heard she blew the audience away. Definitely check this girl out! Her talent will amaze you, even if you can't really get into her style.
