afraid of me
Marianne Nowottny
(Abaton #001)
|
|
|
| | |
| What "Pop-Rocks" are to candy, Marianne Nowottny is to creativity; she doesn't create art, she explodes it. She publishes collections of poetry and drawings, creates music videos, records albums and distributes via the Internet and independent labels. If you are in New York, you can catch live performances that mix blues with electronic, pop and eastern music. Or the avant-pop music is recorded on her latest album, afraid of me (Abaton #001). |

Is This Desire?
PJ Harvey
(Island)
| |
|
| | |
| By communicating through the arts, PJ Harvey has mastered the confounding ability to make personal lyrics public, and her own personal life private. Whether she is immersed up to her elbows creating a sculpture, or recording tracks for her new record, she uses artistry to express her unique wit. The brazen imagery of Is this Desire? (Island) explores the spirituality and sexuality of women. When people ask for interviews or interpretation, PJ Harvey refuses, saying intelligent art always speaks for itself. |

Live
Erykah Badu
(Kedar)
| |
|
| | |
| What if Carmen Miranda was born a soul sister? Meet the exotic and mystical Erykah Badu. When it comes to art, she is her own muse. The same self-proclaimed goddess energy inspiring her sculptural head pieces, channels her R&B flavor of music and outlook on life. Changing proverbial hats, she directs her own imaginative music videos. Her most recently released album, Live (Kedar), contains bonus tracks and live outtakes of Baduizm (Kedar). |

Spirit
Jewel
(Atlantic)
| |
|
| | |
| Words are the expressive banners of Jewel's soul. She first set her pen to paper as a kid to remedy the pain of her parent's divorce. Her poetry and music nurtured her through difficult times. At the age of sixteen she committed to her musical passion, flying from Alaska to Michigan to attend Interlochen, a summer camp of fine arts. Jewel learned to weave her poetic personal perspective into her music. Spirit (Atlantic) is a compilation of Jewel's shining voice and insight. |
