Diamanda Galàs Not for everyone

There are artists who should be put in the front line in certain part of the years. as for some holidays in stores.  Diamanda Galâs should be more heard at this gloomy time of year.  It is an artist with an original songs.  Yes, she have her own songs, I ams sure of that.  I mean original songs in the sense that she don't do in the «nice and shining songs».  Also, she have strong titles and some of them are a bit disturbing.

Here is a few links to some of her body of work:
Here is a show on her Plague Mass album.  It is a bit lenghy:

And I end with my favorite version of «I put a spell on you»:

I think she was the best one to do the song as good as the original

What I like of her: she in not affraid to talk about some delicate theme and delicate subjects or events. She also put emotions in her voice too.  I like that.  It can be heard while listening her.  I also like when she use an more harder and cold voice.  It is almost as if she was sending knives with her voice.

I do not listen her music year round.  I find this time of year more appropriate to sit down and listen to her.  I am conscious that this artist is not for everyone.  For me, it is a need that I have when it become less luminous outside and that I enter in the darkness of my mind.  Her songs and her voice bring me elsewhere and then, I feel better.
