Musik Mundi: Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata
Album: Chesapeake (2011)
Song: Starlight

As some of you may already know, Rachael Yamagata will always have a special place in my heart cos her album was the first one that big poppa bought for me. And his attempt at trying to find Worn Me Down for me was prolly the first sign that i knew he was interested in little old moi. Furious blush and girly giggle. So it's been about three years since her last album. This new album, Chesapeake, will be released in October but cos i was an eager beaver, i sought out her first song that she's putting out. It's alright. The music in this album is going more towards the alterna-electro-pop rather than keeping with her old style of heavy piano-guitar almost jazz like appeal that i loved. I already know Starlight isn't going to be a favorite but it's worth listening to just get to the chorus part. When The Hotel Cafe tour rolled through, she was missing from the houston line-up. But guess what?!? She's scheduled to be in houston december 3rd! YAY! BUT BUT BUT. It's at fitzgerald's. Ugh. When i was in middle school, I associated fitzgerald's as being the place where people did cocaine in the bathrooms. I'm pretty hesitant about going but as of right now, i'm really itching to go ... miss antsymama! you down girl?!?
