Has anyone else heard of Emilliana Torini? She's from Iceland. Take a listen over at Amazon.com...

http://www.amazon.com/exe...ce&s=music



Her album was produced by Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears. It's pretty groovy.

i dont even want to think about what "dido meets bjork" sounds like...

:LOL:

Well, that's what came to mind when I was listening to her. I could have called her Bjork Jr. I mean to say that she is a lighter version of Bjork. I know some poeple, like my boyfriend, think Bjork is a bit much.

Interesting, a little to poppy for me. I might need to hear a little bit more than those 30 sec samples. I also noticed she has a song on her cd titled "Tuna fish" I wonder what that's all about.

If you do like that type of sound I suggest you listen to the Weekend Players cd there's some cool stuff on there. Kinda like Sade meets Portishead...I think You can hear samples of that at amazon.com too.

She helped produce the first single of Kylie's new album. I'm excited to hear it.

I think many can claim Bjork as an influence, but none can successfully do what she does. There's only one.

Oh yes of course. Bjork will always stand alone. However, there are some similarities in the delivery of Emilliana's melodies and I wonder if it's Bjork or Iceland as an influence. The similarity really stops there. Musically, Emilliana is just starting out. I think she shows promise.

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. Had no idea that was the title.

I am lying in my bed
Watching spider eat the fly
I say :"How is that is breakfast TV for you"
A little later I'm sitting by the window looking out
The red army is really blowing up the street

I'm too stale to eat breakfast
So I smell my fingertips
A cup of coffee won't do for me

How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by and they never even try
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by

Guess it's time for a walk
Just to read some license plates
What is autumn doing creeping up to me
Going on the tube to scream when the train arrives
Rubbing cress on my skin, God it smells so nice
All the same I'd think I'll go on rolling up the hill
If I'm lucky you won't see me

How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by in the greying sky
How days creep by

Did you know that tuna fish
Float up to the surface
Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart down
'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things
I guess it's just one wait to get them some sedation

How days creep by - In the greying sky
How days creep by - And they definitely die
How days creep by - In the greying sky
How days creep by

How days creep by - And they definitely die
How days creep by come and ask me why
How days creep by
How days creep by
How days creep by






Oooh... Thanks that sounds good. I'll check it out. Sade meets Portishead is right up my alley.

No one here has heard of Ann Pierlé?

so did they meet or what...?

garganta said:

Uhhh... no. I just figured anyone who liked Bjork or Dido might like Emilliana Torini.

Oh yes, I agree with VinaBlue. Emilliana does sound a bit
like Bjork. I first heard her album when my brother bought
it and burnt me a copy of it. I loved it immediately.

She also reminds me of the first An Pierle album called
"Mud Stories".

And it also made me think of portions of Laurie Anderson's
album "life on a string".

If she and Björk would work together they would no doubt
produce something otherworldly.

Poor Bjork...some of her songs are really nice,but Dido?? yak
