I can't wait for Lisa Hannigan's album.

I did a little digging around to find out who was that haunting, ethereal voice next to Damien Rice's in 9 crimes.  Apparently she collaborated with him on his whole first album (they have since broken up professionally).  She's an Irish singer just about 2 weeks older than I am.  She's lovely and amazing, and she's touring with Jason Mraz starting in October.  Anyone want to catch them with me?

Check out her myspace--I especially like her newest demo, 'Sea Song.'  She seems like she would make an amazing actress, too.


About Lisa Hannigan (from her MySpace): Hello, I am a singer. I often hum away without realising it until I get funny looks on camden street. I'm good at roasting potatoes and sewing on buttons, but not good at voice mails and competitive sports. I get a little rush of excitement when i pass through airport security without beeping. I only recently realised that pipe cleaners are used for cleaning pipes and not making lopsided farm animals out of. I love a good festival, and would happily live at the electric picnic if Bren Berry would let me (and keep the pie shop open). I am very bad at all things computer related so my best friend Una is keeping the keys to this site (She has a terrible sense of direction but is brilliant at everything else, especially voice mails). We'll be putting up bits and bobs over the next few months, some live songs and demos. I'm in the middle of making my first record and I want it to come out as soon as possible so I can sing in venues more socially acceptable than superquinn and the luas station.

Whoa... u mean Damian Rice wasn't the female voice .<.... for the longest time I only heard the female voice... it is what makes the song so great and powerful.... The guy's voice was so forgettable for me.
