Wikipedia entry
She composes, plays the piano, sings several languages impeccably, and can make her voice do unearthly things. Her new album "Guilty Guilty Guilty" will be released on March 31, 2008 tomorrow and is available for pre-order now.
As a performer, she does not seem to know what fear is.
I was not fortunate enough to witness the performances she created in the period after her brother Philip-Dimitri contracted HIV. The recordings from that period are to this day no less visceral and unforgettable.
She
continues to tour, perform, and collaborate with other artists. Her art
helped me exorcise psychological traumas caused by the huge domestic
and international disasters of the years 2003-2007.
