Seductive Electronica
Zero 7 is a seductive electronica ensemble that seems to reinvent itself on every studio album. For a couple of years, Zero 7 featured an unknown Australian songbird Sia as vocalist who has forged her own remarkable career as a singer and songwriter since leaving Zero 7.
Zero 7's most recent featured vocalist is another unknown singing sensation with a single word name, Eska. Eska has a winsome but soulful voice and she frequently uses off tempo vocal phrasing & will linger behind the downbeat to savor the final syllable of each lyric. Her unorthodox vocal style creates a leisurely, unhurried mood of seduction. Eska also plays a mean upright squeeze box accordion. Eska's spellbinding powers are well suited to Swing which is played in a jazzy 5/4 (or more correctly 3+2/4) time signature. Needless to say, I'm madly in love with Eska's voice.
