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

Emiliana Torrini's album 'Love in the Time of Science' was a horribly overlooked album. I'm sure some of you are familiar with her work, she has a fairly good following going - but I feel like she is deserving of much more notoriety. 'Science' was a great collection of songs - the instrumentation, production and vocals are full of life. Overall, the album is dark and beautiful with a few outright pop moments, such as "Unemployed in Summertime". My personal favorite track o... 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

I didn't buy the entire album for this song, but I bought this soundtrack instead of the first or third because of Gollum's song. It's haunting, her voice sounds just a little bit like Rickie Lee Jones, especially in "Someone To Watch Over Me". For those of you who purchased the LOTR soundtracks, which did you get and why?

I first heard of Emilíana Torrini when she opened for someone (who amazingly (and probably tellingly) I can no longer remember) at a summer concert at what used to be known as Pine Knob. No one really pays much attention to the opening acts, but I distinctly remember Torrini drawing me in. 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
