(ARTIST) Bic Runga

Okay, so I said that Bic Runga would be an artist on here and it is time to pay up. Bic has been pretty prolific for a while but I am pretty much still feeling her even now. Her song "Sway" was in American Pie, which was how I first introduced myself to her and I've been following her sporadically since then. Thanks to her very individual background, she has a very individual sound. She is from New Zealand but has strong roots in music thanks to her lounge singer mother. All of this leads to a beautiful mezzo-soprano range with a youthful clarity in her tone. All in all a very enjoyable singer/songwriter. Enjoy Bic Runga.


"Sway" (featured in American Pie)

This one won't allow me to embed, but it needs to be featured here, because it is a wonderful song.
"Winning Arrow" (This is from her latest CD Birds, released in 2005, which has a great jazz feel to it)


"Drive"
