In no way am I trying to pretend that Lisa Hannigan is a newcomer to the music scene. She has been around and already realized a great deal of celebrity under the wings of artists like Damien Rice. She has cut her ties and is now ready to take off as a solo artist - that is what makes her new and exciting. Her haunting vocals, restrained and smooth, work well with the acoustic sound she has to accompany her. Also pleasant is her accent and how it moves from Irish and at times can almost sound Icelandic (think Bjork). I am glad that Lisa is just in time to join the girl folk movement that has been revived by the likes of Feist and Yael Naim. We are hoping for a full album soon, as it is sure to impress.
WRAP IT UP:
