Rachael Yamagata - be be your love



Rachael's latest album "Elephants...Teeth Sinking into Heart" was released earlier this month but has only just become available as a download at Itunes. Normally I wouldn't use Itunes to source music but sometimes, it's the only way to get your (virtual) hands on it. Anyway, as you can see from the track play numbers at her myspace page ("be be your love" has topped 1 million plays!), Rachael has been building up a huge cult following since her decision to head out on a solo career some years ago. I guess it didn't hurt that a lot of her songs have been used in a number of U.S. television series.

It's hard to describe her sound exactly. For some reason, she reminds me of Tori Amos, just not quite as quirky or dark. In any event, it's not a very good comparison and people should have a listen and see for themselves what the fuss is about.
