Dawn Kinnard

I am starting to get a little tired of all the Amy Winehouse wannabees. Phil Spector's name has been quoted in more music magazines this past year than in his entire lifetime. So who can we turn to for something progressive and musically forward? Lucky for us we have Dawn Kinnard. In no way is this young lady pretending to be Amy, or trying to be like her...she is an entity all her own. With a distinct voice she takes classic sounding tracks and adds a certain grit and edge to them that is a welcome change. From flowing strings to hill-billie sounding guitar Dawn has sound her sound and is ready to share it with the world.

WRAP IT UP:
Hot Track(s): Devil's Flame, Fortuneteller
Kind of Like: Macy Grey goes folk and kind of country

PREDICTION:
A top 20 hit in the U.K. and an album that hangs around on the Billboard album chart for 20 plus weeks in the U.S.
