Music Monday Special: Tawiah
(Melodramatic Funk/ Indie Pop)
I have a bit of an announcement so, gather around. Allow me to apologize for not putting you onto this over-seas artist sooner. You are simply NOT complete without her music in your life. I'm NOT sure why I overlooked her when I pick people to write about. I think when I fell and bumped my head, a screw came loose.
It was a early one Saturday morning, and some one sent me a video of a young lady named Tawiah doing a live cover of Soul 4 Real's "Candy Rain". I'm NOT sure exactly what it was about her that caught me every type of off guard... and unsurprisingly I loved it. I'm a BIG sucker for a good, wholesome surprise. *Wink*
Tawiah hails from South London, born in Battersea. She actually had her beginnings doing studio backgrounds for Corrine Bailey Rae. From there she moved on to be a singer under the direction of Mark Ronson, in his band. And then there was "In Jodi's Bedroom"... and her single "Watch Out" which received high reviews and was campaigned by Giles Peterson. You check the records through and through, Tawiah is a solid talent.
I really don't think any of the persuasive talk that I usually do is necessary on this blog post, because her talent really says everything that you need to hear. I highly advise that you go to iTunes, and buy Tawiah's EP now! Add her as a friend on Music myspace, and follow her on Twitter. Of course I'm always willing to oblige the disbeliever. I do believe that I only let the creme of the crop come through my ears. SO, here's the video that made me fall so head over hills for her artistry. Until NEXT time...
