This is another song that I just cannot stop playing. Although she has been around for quite a bit, and made some waves in the music world, I had never heard of her until a few months back. The Mannasseh remix of this song (quite close to the original) was playing at my work, so I wrote it down and checked her out. You can hear that remix on her myspace page here. There have been a few MOG posts about her and her new album, Fisherman's Woman, which I am going to try my bes... MORE

I couldn't really tell you one specifc aspect that did it; I think it was everything put together. Anyhow, I picked up Love in the Time of Science a short time after that and liked it.... MORE
Just picked up Emiliana's second album, The Fisherman's Woman recently. She's very much grown on me, like a less off-the-rails version of Björk (all due respect). Emiliana's got a soothing, exotic voice that's equally at home over the fingerpicked acoustic folk of her latest, or laid-back Thievery Corporation grooves like "Heaven's Gonna Burn Your Eyes". She's officially my favorite female collaborator with a downtempo group...sorry Sia/Zero 7, you've been demoted. Emili... MORE
