A few days ago i was browsing the internet while watching star world (multi-tasking)..and i came across an report on Zee Avi, a Malaysian musician. So i just searched for her on google and downloaded her album(The power of rapidshare people).
Her music exceeded my expectations, somewhat pop, with a little jazz she kinda reminded me of colbie caliat and lisa ono combined..
My favourite tunes were Bitterheart which reflects on heartbreak, poppy which tells the story of her boyfriend being lost to drug addiction and kantoi which had some mixed languages (couldn't tell what it was perhaps malaysian and english, played on ukulele, a small guitar like instrument discovered in hawai).
Zee Avi was first discovered on Myspace and her debut album with the same name has hit #130 US Billboard Hot 200 Chart and #2 US Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart, and sold 6,000 copies in the United States in its first 2 weeks of release(as of June 9, 2009) according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Her first single "Bitter Heart" spent 3 weeks on Japan's Top 100 Singles chart. It entered the chart at #82 and peaked at #63, where it stayed for 2 weeks.
Myspace has played a part in orbiting many talented musicians, i'm glad that in music there is no longer geographical boundaries, with our world becoming somewhat like a global village. We have the internet to thank for that, Thank You Internet...
