You're welcome. I only know the song by the video. It was regularly requested on the video channel Video Jukebox. I never heard it on the radio. [Edited 8/20/06 14:45pm] | |

That entire CD was fabulous and extremely erotic. Thank you! I've kind of lost track of her. Never saw the video but will try to view it now! Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

I've never heard "Zipless"; is this a play on the concept of "the zipless f**k" as created by her aunt (pop culture fem writer) Erica Jong? | |

Yes! 
And I never knew they were related. Cool. | |

Working with husband and longtime collaborator Peter Daou, Zipless is the poetry of Erica Jong set to music (all of it played, arranged, and produced by Peter Daou, who happens to be Jong's nephew). Musically, the arrangements are often sparse and ambient, giving Vanessa Daou plenty of space to deliver the words in either spoken form or with slinky, seductive vocals. It's an approach that is a almost flawless, allowing the listener to drift along as Vanessa breathily offers up the provocative memories on "Sunday Afternoons" or weaves her way through the hushed, evocative "My Love Is Too Much." Jong herself gives the reading of "Smoke," with some vocals added by Vanessa. Other noteworthy tracks include the inviting opener "The Long Tunnel of Wanting You," which simmers with an airy, percussive melody, and the hypnotic, wispy "Near the Black Forest." Zipless is a breathtaking trip that can barely contain its own sensuality. | |

Yes!
And I never knew they were related. Cool. Only by marriage, but Jong appears to be really proud of her, and always speaks of Vanessa glowingly... and I just love Erica Jong | |
