Sounds Like:
Please have a listen and see for yourself..so many people have told me my voice reminds them of Harriet Wheeler from the Sundays but lately I've been doing some different stuff, a bit more Kate Bush (Dogs and Demons), exploring different languages...I'm not fluent in any except English but have some Spanish, French and Japanese and I have a good ear for accents... recently our My Space friends have made reference to Loreena McKennitt, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Happy Rhodes... I am honoured by all of these comparisons...;o)
