I think her voice is epic. It's child-like, and yet it navigates her complex melodic twists and turns with skill, and almost wisdom. Another thing I find interesting is how similar parts of "Emily" are to Springsteen's "Spirit in the Night" in terms of melody. I wonder if she's aware of this. I'm kind of disappointed to see there's no one around here that's as impressed with her as I am.

Also: If you have itunes...check out the podcast of NPR's All Songs Considered, in which Boileen interviews her and lets her choose some of the songs that are played. She's extremely articulate in a way that most muscians really aren't.
