Lately, I’ve been feeling like a bum. I’ve spent hours upon hours watching videos on YouTube which left me feeling like I wasted years and years of my life until I found…Lisa Lavie. Now I feel like I wasted hours instead of years, which is still not a good feeling but at least I got something out of it.
Lisa Lavie, a YouTube artist who has successfully released her debut album Everything or Nothing (2008) exclusively on iTunes, has one powerhouse of a voice. Reminiscent of a classic Mariah Carey and previous X-Factor winner Leona Lewis, Lisa’s voice has such immense depth and range that you can’t help but feel like you found a rare gem and wonder if anyone else even knows it exists. Then you start to think if you didn’t know it existed, then a bunch other people probably don’t know; which leads to the thought that (more) people need to know about and appreciate this awesomeness and then you feel exhausted just thinking of the injustice of it all.
Lisa’s YouTube channel has a number of covers and showcases songs off her album which has an R&B and Soul feel to it and which in my opinion is a refreshing departure from the overproduced fakeness in mainstream music. Check out my favourite songs (and counting) from her album below.
