Karoline Hausted, a good friend of mine – my partner’s daughter, in fact — just released her second CD, and her first solo CD. You can find it on iTunes.
And you should.. you are going to love it.
Take what I say with a grain of salt – how can I be purely objective? – but her lyrics are pure and dreamy and erudite, her singing is rich, the arrangements are lush, and the mixing — just to a touch.
And at this point, you are saying “Ok, he’s not being objective.”
Trust me. It’s that good. Radio Denmark has already copped some of it for programs – months before the CD was out of production — and the Danish National Arts Foundation awarded a major grant on first listen. It’s that good.
Look her up on iTunes. Karoline Hausted. Tap Tap Tap is a nice song to start on for a sample…

Thanks, she's great! Bought a few tracks, I like "Spooked."
Glad to hear it, Denise.
Lee and I listened to it several times today driving from Seattle to Seaside.
Bloody brilliant music! Haunting, lyrical, evocative, a bedroom voice… I am sold! Cannot play it enough at the moment – high rotation.
Fantastic stuff. Best I've heard this year so far…
I love the CD. And yes, my iPod is very happy… as are my ears, my spirit, and my mind. Thanks Allan.
