When her new one finally hits the U.S. (?? explain please) I'm all over it. Got my money tucked in my shoe. Her first album never drifts far from my player. Never. The three cuts from the new album on her MySpace page promise nothing lesser and hint at even better. If that's possible. Of course her voice is amazing, but what I find scalding HOT are the musicians and arrangements. HOT HOT HOT. Not for everyone I'm sure, but it speaks to me.

This cut is great fun, not her strongest work to me, although the scat rocks hard. Her other YouTube cut, from her first album, a LATIN Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen(!!), ... R O C K S. I decided against posting it for a few reasons. It's easy to find. Compare it to Judy Garland's for more evidence that God creates a diverse palette in His world.
