Lisa Hannigan the Irish rose



A pretty Irish lass with a sultry smokey voice. It reminds me a lot of Emma Pollock's voice, even though she's from Scotland and comparing an Irish woman to a scottish one is probably sacrilege. Regardless, Lisa Hannigan hails from Dublin, and she's been doing backing vocals for Damian Rice for a while now. But that's over, and Sea Sew is her first solo outing, and it's a damn good one. In fact, I believe she's nominated for best Irish album of 2008 (to be announced in March). It just released in the states. Have a listen.
