Thanks to the iTMS, I have a reason to look forward to Tuesdays.
Because that's when Apple updates the Music Store with all the new
music for the week. I have a little ritual, where I skip through all
the covers on the front page of the store, looking for something new
to sample. Some weeks I come up empty; nothing grabs me. Other times
I find an album with a pleasant track or two, but not enough to
justify a purchase. (I don't buy single tracks. If I find an artist
I like, I want to have enough of their music to last me a while.) And
then there are the unexpected finds, the discs that are more than a
bunch of pleasant tracks.
This is one of the latter. The songs themselves are nice, interesting
and varied enough to make for a satisfying 39:45 of listening. But
Ms. Runga's voice; that's something special. When one of her tracks
shows up in one of my Smart Playlists, I can feel the shiver up my
spine. It's that kind of voice.
