All Things Chill

Not only is she cute as a button, but her tracks are super-sexy-sensual at the sub-atomic level. I’ve been listening to Emilana Torrini’s latest CD Fisherman’s Woman in the car since 01/01/06 and I can’t get enough. Here’s a lil backgroundage:

Emiliana Torrini is half Icelandic, half Italian. She grew up in Iceland in a town outside Reykjavik and spent her childhood summers with her grandmother in the far east of Iceland out in the wild, spacious countryside. Her teen summers were spent in Germany with her Italian uncle. She joined a choir aged seven and sang soprano till she was 15, when she went to opera school. “I got into other music rather late because we didn’t have any records, well except lots of classical, my mum“s Greatest Love Songs compilation from the TV and Leonard Cohen whom I love. Then we got MTV. We were the first people in our town to have it and I would stay up all night to record from the late night alternative shows, making tapes to take to school to brag about my musical findings.“

She probably hates the Bjork juxtaposition, but the similarities between both vocalists is the reason why I listen to Emiliana. Fisherman’s Woman is perfect to finish off that last block of pricey cheese and 1/5 bottle of wine. It’s the perfect time of year to just chill at home and recover from the end of the year festivities.

Reset. Repair. Relax.
