Purchased the album 'Stoosh' today. Hadn't heard it in years and...WOW!

She looks pretty odd but what a voice: A cross between Annie Lennox and a female Jeff Buckley.

Fabulous.

Nope, didn't know. I have 'Hedonism' on cd single which I play occasionally. It was buying this album that made me sit up think "what have I been missing?"

I prefer Martha Wainwright's new, slightly bonkers LP. She's, at least on the artful cover, fabulous to look at and a scary talent.
