Say Blue! third part: the feminine.

I think it's because I miss singing so much. I feel like in my throat there were tons of notes and sounds crowding and pushing to get out. But, matter of fact, a day's got not enough hours to make everything I'd want. So, I listen, and actually I prefer listening to somebody I can relate to or sing on, at least in my shower sessions ;) And when I look for female music I always come out not only with good artists and musicians, but also with peculiar persons, with a story to tell and a personality that comes out of the crowd.
So, what about soul and blues in feminine? Nothing better for my ears, and for my showers...


This artist is an eclectic, soulful, magnetic woman that can surf over different music styles and always be at the top of them. Maimouna Youssef is a Grammy nominated artist with coolaborations that scream out loud "she's damn good". Unforgettable voice, a must have album.


On this side of the Atlantic Ocean there's this beautiful young and talented woman with a deep and velveted voice and an album that can be heard again and again and never gets boring. Somewhere between jazz and reggae and soul. An actual patchwork.


This woman plays the guitar in a way that remembers Steve Ray Vaughan with a plenty of female soul and poetry. Deeply american, somewhat country and blues, but with something special that makes her different from everything I heard before.


Do somebody remember Suzanne Vega? Well I didn't. But it came up in my mind when I found Molly Bryant. Ok, I have to be onest, I'm not exactly euforic about this finding. It's nice, but not my favoured style, nor was Suzanne Vega. But my little one loves her. She dances and sings and smiles, so... do I have to say more?
