I've been hearing about this girl Jaymay for a couple weeks now. People are buzzing about how she's gonna be the next big thing and this and that. I have a couple of friends who swear by her, claiming goosebumps when she sings. I needed to see for myself.
I was fairly impressed. It sounded more or less like your standard singer/songwriter fare, but she's got a certain quality about her. I wasn't quite as blown away as my friends were, but I suppose she could really take off. She reminded me a lot of Conor Oberst, actually (Who is obviously very popular despite the fact I don't really care for him). I don't hear it in the voice, but more so in how they carry themselves. There's a certain overconfident swagger they both have that contrasts with the emotionally vulnerable music they play. It's not gonna be my favorite stuff, but there is a certain appeal for sure. Keep an eye out for this girl.
If you wanna see for yourself, she'll be at The Living Room every Monday for the rest of May. She has a handful of MP3s available to download as well.
i've been hearing about her as well. i'll have to catch her next show at The Living Room.
