It's just barely possible, though, because the proof is in hand in the form of an album full of confident vocals, accomplished songwriting and instrumental virtuosity.<br /><br />It's just not fair.<br /><br />But it's a blessing.<br /><br />Among the more astonishing qualities of Fraser's work is her startling originality, as a songwriter, certainly, but especially as a vocal performer. It's not just a strong, distinctive voice, but things like her ability to stretch a single word into a multi-syllabic vocalese solo without missing a step in her melodic structure or her lyrical narrative.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20917295-113987731892653205?l=juketheblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000043157715554910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20917295.post-1139859367874619812006-02-13T11:35:00.000-08:002006-02-13T11:36:07.886-08:00...testing two.<br /><br />Yep.
