Eva Cassidy - true colours (cyndi lauper)

Loading Sample Playing Sample True Colours Eva Cassidy Fast Car Radio

mellow rock instrumentation - folk influences - mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation
a vocal-centric aesthetic - major key tonality - a breathy female lead vocalist
acoustic rhythm guitars

In 1996, just when she had begun to record more frequently on a small, local basis, Cassidy was diagnosed with cancer, which had already spread throughout her body and rapidly claimed her life.
...
her music was posthumously championed by a BBC disc jockey, and amazingly, the anthology Songbird became a number one million-selling smash in England.
A native of the Washington, D.C., area, the painfully shy Cassidy earned a local reputation as a masterful interpreter of standards from virtually any genre, blessed with technical agility and a searching passion that cut straight to the emotional core of her material.

-- lovely. I really like True Colors. cyndi lauper -
