i admit it. sometimes, i watch crap television. usually i don’t watch any television, but we recently got a slingbox. so now i indulge if i’m bored/ stressed.

so there i was in the midst of an unspectacular lifetime movie (ya i know. shutup.), when a commercial for bounce came on, and it had a cute little ditty going on in the background. for kicks i googled the lyrics, and came up with its equally cute little canadian singer, emily mover.

she has experience as a jazz singer, and you could guess that within her first few notes. the tone of her voice is silky, even, and rich. it feels lovely against the backdrop of her songs — some of which are fully orchestrated affairs, and some totally stripped down. i also think that elements of the production conjures an old vintage feel to it. but with a newness mixed in at the same time. my favorite track is “mountainside” — she manages to make it sound so lush, even with nothing but acoustic guitar and voice.

i’ll be downloading her so hard once i have the time/ money. note to self: watch more lifetime movies in order to discover new and interesting singers.
