Re: New Music 2008: Whadja Get?
not so much a "whadja get" as a "what eric gonna buy me" today at best buy:
marie (pronounced ma-ree-ay) digby's "unfold."
despite the controversy as to her authenticity as an undiscovered artist who made herself discovered via the wonders of youtube or not, to my ear, she is undeniably talented. (scriv, i would bet you would find her japanese-irish looks undeniably beautiful)
her covers of rihanna, maroon 5, and incubus all do what the best covers do - breathe a bit fresh life into a song i already like, all the while somehow causing me to enjoy the originals even more. make fun of my taste in music, but i found britney's "gimme more" completely enjoyable gyraty pop if tainted by that sloppy mtv award performance. digby's version pretty much scrubbed the taint off for me. additionally, digby's original songs (like "stupid for you" and "say it again") easily earn my pressing the "repeat" button on my cd player at work.
