My husband introduced me to a new artist this morning (new to me, that is). Her name is Jody Gnant and I am absolutely blown away.
Let me preface my review and praise with this: I listen to music all day long. Even before I had this music blog, I could always be found in the midst of music – singing along, bobbing my head, tapping my toes, swaying, snapping, dancing, drumming, thumping ….becoming one with the beat, man! I can be listening, one minute, to Montgomery Gentry and segue right into My Chemical Romance. From Kanye West to Nickelback, from Shania to Fergie, from Poison to Daughtry, and from Gwen Stefani to vintage Janet Jackson. I’m all over the place with my music obsession.
That’s why it’s so exciting to find a new artist to throw into the mix. I’m welcoming Jody Gnant to my musical world with open arms. When I was trying to come up with a description of her musical style, I kept trying to think of who I could compare her to. I thought, “She’s kind of like a clean, un-freaky Amy Winehouse meets Jewel, sprinkled lightly with Diana Krall – with a potent splash of Lena Horne.”
Then, I realized that more than anything – she’s Jody Gnant. Her voice is absolutely haunting and passion for her music is palpable.
I just can’t figure out why she isn’t a household name yet. I have a strong, strong feeling that those words won’t be applicable a year from now, though. Below are a few of the videos I found. Below the videos you’ll find a link to Jody’s Website. Keep an eye on this one!
The first video is for the song, “Over,” which is from the cd Pivot.
Be sure to check out Jody’s Website and download her music as well as buy her cd, Pivot. It’ll be the best $10 you spent in a long time.
