new music: Eliza Rickman, Sarah Blasko, La Luz
Posted by Amy Steele in Music, Women/ feminism on May 14, 2018
If you like Amanda Palmer, you’ll like Eliza Rickman. The talented piano player, writes weird, dark and beautiful chamber pop songs. She earned a bachelor’s degree in music and orchestration. Rickman is currently on tour. I saw her perform six years ago!
Sarah Blasko, “Read My Mind”
If you like Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos and St. Vincent, you might like Sydney singer/songwriter Sarah Blasko. Her sixth studio album is Depth of Field. She wrote this gorgeous, heartfelt and rather infectious song, “Read My Mind,” for her son.
Sarah said: “Read My Mind is about unspoken connections, the special ways we communicate with people we love. It was written about my son Jerry & the wonder experienced in getting to know him & looking after him when he was very small. It was as though he was not yet human, very primal, so switched on to me & I to him. We communicated in a very unique way. He spoke to me in a kind of half-speak that was so adorable & I felt like we understood each other perfectly.”
La Luz, “Mean Dream”
New video and another dreamy cool single from La Luz who are on tour now and will be at Once Ballroom in Somerville, Mass. on June 6, 2018. La Luz is: Shana Cleveland [vocals/ guitar], Marian Li Pino [drums], Alice Sandahl [keyboards], and Lena Simon [bass].

Eliza Rickman: music review
Posted by Amy Steele in Music on March 10, 2012
Eliza Rickman’s lilting, emotive vocals will transport you somewhere else. This is a black and white film on Mars. A talented singer who utilizes her voice to its max. Dark undercurrents mix with a dreaminess and magical yet brazen style. Old-fashioned, cabaret style mesh with futuristic arrangements. O, You Sinners is potent and genuine artistry.
songs I really like:
“Black Rose”
“Pretty Little Head”
“White Words”
purchase at Amazon: O, You Sinners
