Duffy "I'm Scared"

As if it's not obvious yet, I have an obsession with singer-songwriters. And if you've really been paying attention, you probably know that I have an obsession with European singer-songwriters, specifically. For obvious reasons, I love male songwriters (accents, metrosexual vibe-- what more could I ask for?).

But, generally speaking, I'm not a huge fan of female artists. However I can't help but be in love with some of the female artists coming out of Europe these days. Their sound is so pure and raw that it honestly leaves me speechless(which is quite a feat)

I've had Duffy's "I'm Scared" stuck in my head all day. Love it!

Here are some other European female artists you should check out: Corrine Bailey Rae, Adele, Laura Izibor

Like A Star- Corinne Bailey Rae

The recently widowed, Corinne Bailey Rae is a very touching musician. Like many of my favorite female artists, Rae benefits from using the fragility of her voice to command the utmost power. It's almost as if the soft nature of their voice, makes you listen that much harder and in doing so, you realize the gravity of their message.

A part of the new feminized "British Invasion," which includes songstresses Duffy and Amy Winehouse, Bailey is putting her mark on the world.

Mercy- Duffy

I hate her hair
I hate that people compare her to Amy Wineo
I hate her voice (seriously, how forced is it)
But I like this song, simply because it's catchy
