Listen Up: Lhasa
The best way to get recommendations for new music is to listen to someone you trust.
Because I love her music so much, I trust that I'd love most anything that Feist loves, so I was thrilled to find an old "celebrity playlist" she created for Rhapsody two years ago:
1. Soon this space will be too small - Lhasa
2. I'm A Fool To Want You - Billie Holiday
3. Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees) - The Ink Spots
4. Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers
5. Tryin' Times - Roberta Flack
6. O Leaozinho - Caetano Veloso
7. Pushover - Etta James
8. Things Are Getting Better - N.E.R.D.
9. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
10. Pull Up The People - M.I.A.
11. Cayman Islands - Kings Of Convenience
There's much to investigate there (and some stuff I already knew too) but the one artist that stood out upon my first listen was Lhasa (a.k.a. Lhasa de Sela). Looks like she put out two records in the US, the last one in 2004, both of which I've been listening to via my Rhapsody subscription (despite the recent @^$* price hike).
I've been Googling and reading about her, but haven't found any recent information. So where's she been for the past few years, anyone know?
