Okay, so I basically haven't posted in two months -- I know. And we got back from our Weddings & Conferences Tour '07 a week and a half ago and there's tons of things to tell you about that -- I know. But that's not what's on my mind right now. So let's talk about Tina Dico.
First of all, she's f'ing gorgeous. But beyond that. I picked up her newest CD release In the Red off the shelf at Borders just because the cover caught my eye. It turns out I liked the music too. I ended up buying it a couple months later before we went on our trip.
I'm kind of addicted now. She's Danish and In the Red hit No. 1 on the Danish charts over megabands like Coldplay and U2. She's one of those "didn't like how the big record company was going to market her and went her own way to success outside the biz" stories and it's easy to understand how -- she's quite a talent. Her myspace page says she sounds like Joan Armatrading and Joni Mitchell, but I don't know them enough to say whether that's true or not. I'm comparing her to Norah Jones or Dido, except darker, more vocally striking -- and better. What can I say? I've got a crush. Take a listen. She's got a couple videos on Youtube as well.
Anyway. I'll try and get some more newsy posts out here in rapid succession. Stay tuned.
