Gretchen ParlatoBefore the jazz festival this past weekend, I'd never heard of this woman. All of my friends were excited to see her perform and here I was embarrassed because I should have known who she is! I love jazz. So anyway, I've been listening to some of her music since then and I'm in love with her voice. Her sound is like a tranquil symphonic wonderland. Super smooth and tender. And what she does with her mouth (no homo)...Now that I think about it, her voice reminds me of Amel Larrieux's. If they did a duet...man![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuKl_L3STNQ] Meshell NdegeocelloLook...........Meshell makes music that will TUG at your every heart string. Her music is like when your heart beats faster just as your crush kisses you. Her music is like laying out under a soft sun reminiscing on the good times. Her music is a little like ecstasy (not that I know but I can imagine). I can't even begin to name some of my favorite songs. Beautiful is probably my favorite. You can't listen to it without feeling vulnerable.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev8E9rolRMc]Good vibes.
