Natasha is currently recording her 3rd album.

I appreciate Natasha's cute little upturned nose. Haven't really listened to much of her music, though. You're not the first person to mention her lately (here maybe, but not in my "real" world ), so I guess I should get around to giving it a chance.

"Two suns" is a great album. She kinda reminds me of Kate Bush. I think she's Asian as well so that may go to the "will there ever be an asian star" thread lol

There is a 2cd special edition of Two Suns featuring extra tracks, live stuff and remixes, 19 tracks in all. The other disc is a dvd which is a docu about the making of Two Suns.

It's bloody brilliant.

If you ever get the chance to see her live go for it. I have seen her twice now, once in small club and the other in a larger venue on the Two Suns tour, she is a very good performer, skipping from piano to percussion and WOW, that voice!

GAAAWD, she is FANTSTIC! I was listening to the special edition of Two Suns all day Thursday. 'Sleep Alone' is perfect. Her music is just beautiful to me. It broke my heart when her last live show here was cancelled

Thank God

Sounds like a cross between Kate Bush and Tori Amos. Unfortunately I've never liked Kate Bush and it annoys me that she sounds like Tori.

I don't get all the Kate Bush comparisons, the press were full of it, Natasha sounds nothing like her, or Tori.

All that shit was just lazy journalism.

Bat For Lashes & Beck - Lets Get Lost (Twilight soundtrack)

I love Two Suns. "Travelling Woman"

I loooove "Daniel"

It's nothing personal, I assure you. But if you can't hear Kate and PARTICULARLY Tori in there then you just aren't listening hard enough. There's some parts in one of those videos that I would have guessed actually were Tori if I'd just heard and not seen them.

Oh i do listen, maybe i just have not listened to enough of Tori or Kate past the singles, the ones i have heard are not really to my liking.

Natasha has actually cited Kate Bush as an influence before.

I think kate Bush is actually god f**king awful,
