I'm not sure if I have blogged solely about my love for Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, before. Cat Power is ridiculously beautiful music. I have loved her for a long time now, and even though her more recent work is not as raw as her previous, her voice is still undeniably stunning. This kind of music is exactly what keeps me continuously interested in the music industry. I started listening to her again the other day, and I realised, again, just how poweful I think she is. In the 90s and early 2000s she was an alcoholic, and was infamously difficult to watch perform, and often broke down sobbing instead of being able to finish. Although this perhaps is not something to admire, I do admmire the woman's strength and ability to pull herself through, and there is a noticeable shift in her musical direction since overcoming. I saw her live in 2008, and although I was excited, I was also skeptical that it might be a dissapointment, considering all her bad press from previous shows.... she rocked.
Let's have a listen!
PS. It helps that she is stunning. Karl Lagerfeld has used her for Chanel before. Woah.
