Imelda May

Johnny got a boom boom oh yeah/Johnny got a bamm...He's got ya in his hands/Gonna make ya wanna /Make ya wanna ohh...

I am still under the influence of Imelda May's concert last night in Apolo/Barcelona. She is addictive, she makes you wanna dance and sing along, reminding me of my rock'n roll sessions as a child - meaning listening to music on the record player and dancing in the living room.
Her music goes deep under your skin and runs through your veins. It has some kind of magic that only live beautiful voices like hers can do it.

Coming from Dublin, she shared stages with everyone from Van Morrison to the Scissor Sisters and now she is reviving retro music, mixing in a fresh and cool sound jazz, blues and rockabilly.

Everything fits just perfect. Her voice with her clothes, the haircut, her body language on stage, her laugh and giggling. She gives you the shivers! Imelda May is the new sound that is taking the London music scene by storm. She definitely is the one to watch for 2009.
