Ah, Emiliana Torrini.  Coming to Kentucky soon, dear?  Please do.

Until that happens, I’ll be content with this track off of her new album, Me And Armeni.

Emiliana Torrini - Me And Armeni

A bit of a different direction this time around; You’d be forgiven if you thought that you’d mistakenly queued up Lily Allen after those first intro bars.  Perhaps the producer, Dan Carey, has something to do with it.

Dan was behind Emiliana’s last album, Fisherman’s Woman, and did a masterful job of capturing the delicate acoustics of her songs.  Here is a track I’m particularly fond of from that 2005 release.

Emiliana Torrini - Nothing Brings Me Down

Since then, however, Dan has been busy working with Kylie Minogue, Fatboy Slim, Corinne Bailey Rae, Santogold and Hot Chip.  It would seem that a little bit of the dance dance has made its way into Me And Armeni.  Judging by this first single, perhaps that’s not a bad thing.  She seems ready to take on the world and I, for one, am ready.

Sadly, no tour dates to report just yet.

Me And Armeni is coming out on Rough Trade on September 8th.
