Alela Diane
September 9th, 2008
This sweet sweet sweetheart musician has a knack for writing oddly wonderful lyrics with despairing and haunting melodies. In a way not unlike Chan Marshall of Cat Power, this one has the ability to play music that sticks in your head for days. Her voice is confident and powerful enough that sometimes your forget where you are, and wander aimlessly into a childhood memory of hers and yours blended together. I find that at least a few of her songs make my eyelids a bit heavier for sadness and want of a sweet dream away from reality. Alela Diane makes a type of gypsy folkish music you won't soon forget about.
