I don't really know her at first, really. I happen to search her at Imeem website because I was kinda bored and fed up with the songs that hit the US Chart, shipped here in the Philippines. This 30 year old Taiwanese American lady, a based pianist (and I think She could play guitar, too), song writer and vocals, born in Saragota, California. She was inspired to sing and write songs by Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor and some Mandarin Mixes. Her musical style is close to Folk, Pop and some Acapella (Passage).
I don't believe Wikipedia that she's an Alto. Her songs are very powerful. Emotions fills up my soul, realizing feelings that were not really real, but true. It's totally like dreaming. What catched me most is her "Passage" where she relates the death of a woman, feeling sad about her death (who's going to be happy anyway when you got into a car crash and died accidentally.) Words and feelings unsaid remained within herself. Creepy!
She has released 3 albums from 2002, 2004 and 2006. The Waking Hour, Warm Stranger and her latest album, Dreaming Through The Noise which includes Blue Caravan, Whatever You Want, Love Turns 40, I Don't Feel So Well (which for me is the best in this album), City Hall, Nothing Without You, Transcontinental, 1:30AM, 1BR/1BA, Now Three, Pontchartrain and Recessional.
