Kicking off with my first like actual blog post for seriously real, I'll start with this little known artist I recently discovered through last.fm of all places. Happy may personally get tired of the Kate Bush comparisons, but the sound is indefinitely there. Except for the part where her natural singing voice is decidedly baritone. She trained herself to sing in a falsetto that resembles Kate though.
Vickie (Happy's #1 fan) has been putting together a youtube channel full of videos of every single song Happy has released, of course with the blessings of Happy herself. An epic task indeed, so far only the first 3 of 11 or so albums is up. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/happyrhodesalbums#play/playlists. Give it a month or so and there will probably be everything she's ever done. Here are a few of my personal favorites though.
I'm a bigger fan of her later more electronic work, but this stuff's good. There are also a few tracks at the bottom on my "playlist" if you're looking for more. If you like what you hear visit her website http://www.auntiesocialmusic.com/ and/or buy some merch or a CD: http://www.dangerousmusic.com/cart.
