So you may or may not know that I am an American who lived in Australia for a year in ’07 and my housemates had Australian Idol on just about every week so I got hooked. If you are blessed enough to get out of your culture for a while and experience another, it really [...]
Duffy. The 60s collides with today.
This mid-20s singer from Wales has one of the most unique voices I’ve heard lately. http://www.iamduffy.com/
