Zee Avi

Zee Avi

Zee Avi is one of those artists discovered via YouTube. She released her debut album in May 2009 and is now touring with Lilith Fair. Hearing her the first time I immediately thought of an upbeat Cat Power.

From her website:

"Zee Avi is just 23 but she's an old soul. A huge talent in a petite frame bringing a universal message from the unlikely birthplace of Borneo... With an eclectic pool of influences that range from such eccentrics as Cat Power, Regina Spektor, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits..."

Here is I am Me Once More.
