Kate Bush, Beth Gibbons, Zooey Deschanel, Betty Carter, and (believe it!) Sade...

I've been listening to How Will You?, the new record from experimental Chicago pianist AZITA. I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of her before, though she's recorded with Bonnie Prince Billy, and has a confident, charismatic performance style reminiscent of Kate Bush. These are bold compositions from an artist with an incredibly controlled vocal range. Her new record comes out on 2/17 on Drag City Records. Listen and weep! AZITA @ Myspace.
