finding new music
so how do you find new music?
Lately one way that I’ve used is the iTunes store. Every Tuesday they post a free song. Right now my “free” collection is around 65 songs. They aren’t all hits, but they are pretty good, and after a while you hear some tunes on the radio.
My most recent find is Katie Melua , however I didn’t find her via iTunes, instead it was an email from TicketMaster that made me listen. She’s scheduled to play here in July so they were promoting her concert. I hadn’t heard of her so I dug around some, and after listening to snippets of a few tracks I bought her album “Piece by Piece” on iTunes.
She has a great voice and her arrangements are unique. Two selections that are my immediate favorites are “Nine Million Bicycles” and “On the Road Again”. The first one has some great lyrcis and meoldy that evokes a chinese feeling that matches the lyrics. “On the Road Again” is very nice rendition of the old Canned Heat favorite. I’m curious as to how she chose the song. Pick up the album if you’re looking for a great voice.
