Lissie "In Sleep"
Lissie amazes me.
My friend and musical muse, Julia, introduced me to her song "In Sleep" - and I cried the first time I heard it.
She's self-taught, with honey blonde hair and a whisky kissed voice - and I've NEEDED to hear something like this for some time, now. Her lyrics speak for me.
I know you've heard "Bad Romance" more times than you've probably ever needed to - but, her cover of the song is so worth the over-exposure to the song, once more. She's pretty much my freakin' favorite performer of the moment - and, I don't want to rush into anything here - but, I think she could be a long-time love of mine. ;)
I particularly like this quick overview of where she's at now - and where's she's poised to go.
Maybe Perez will have her out to his SXSW party, next year - and I can see her perform live.
Here's my rendition of her song "In Sleep".
