Heart of My Own


The first newly released album for 2010 I've listened to is "Heart of My Own" by Canadian singer-songwriter Basia Bulat. The follow up to her 2007 debut, "Oh, My Darling," "Heart of My Own" has been the perfect album to commence the new year music-wise. Basia's rich voice and sweet, thoughtful lyrics really make for a superb listening experience. Plus, she plays the autoharp. Sigh. I need to get my hands on one of those. But, back to Basia. Her music makes me so happy. I always feel that little flutter from deep within as soon as the first chords are struck and the song unfolds.

I recently came across an In Studio video from Toronto's National Post newspaper featuring Basia playing two songs ("Heart of My Own" and "Run") from the new album and talking about her writing/recording process. It's fun, check it out!

Oh, I like her a lot. I bought her first album purely based on the fact that I liked the cover. I was pleasantly pleased with the music within.

What's an autoharp, Emily?! I'm going to have to google it. Is it as awesome as this key-tar? Tehehehe.

She does have such a gorgeous voice - a little country, a little 90s power ballad diva.
