Marie-Pierre Arthur

Okay, okay, I know a large-ish part of my music collection consists of 'women with little voices'. Emiliana Torrini. Lykke Li. Camera Obscura. Ariana Moffatt. Basia Bulat. The Be Good Tanyas. Etc.

But 'women with little voices' often provide a very nice background noise for writing.

Thanks to my good buddy Porkchop (not his real name), I recently discovered Marie-Pierre Arthur, an emerging Quebecois songstress who just released her first (self-titled) album.

The folk-inspired songs are thoughtfully written, earnestly played and easy on the ears. A lovely addition to my collection of talented ladies.
