i am obsessed


Officially. Serious girl crush. The range of melody, the admirable gestures, the quiet yet blasting wit, she had me at hello. Jesca Hoop's album Kismet is one of the best I've picked up this year, though she's been around since early 2006 and is finally getting a bit of earned recognition.

From London Tour Dates Magazine, December 12, 2008

"Sadly, we live in a world that thinks a pretty girl with an acoustic guitar automatically equals boring (another thing Barack Obama can try and find time to sort out). It means Jesca Hoop, once a nanny to Tom Wait's children, may lose out on a potential army of fans. Those who persevere with her though, will enjoy a brilliant talent whose songs are nothing short of folk pop masterpieces..." By Barnaby Smith







ummm yeah, enough said.
