Next up was Lisa Cuthbert. We hastily set up her massively heavy keyboard in the studio as I prayed to sweet Jesus I wouldn't drop it on her fantastic boots.
Lisa has a voice that, for me, borders between Fiona Apple and Sarah McLaughlan. Apologies in retrospect for comparing her to other singers, I freakin hate when people do that, but yeah. Deep, throaty vocals that twist and flip to delicacy when you're least expecting it. Simultaneously beautiful and haunting.
She played two tracks for us, Cherry Blossom and Ready to Unfold. She plays piano really really, sickenly, jealous-inducingly well. Grrr.
Check her out soon, her new EP's out and she's playing round the country in the next few weeks.
