Emiliana's beautiful lyrics and exqusite voice made me fall in love with her music since first hearing "To Be Free" from Love in the Time of Science in 2000. Go here and click on the mp3 samples to hear small gems of her works. She has, in my mind, a certain sweet way of building her music that evokes ever-evolving universalities in love and lonliness. I picture myself on a windy hilltop surging with compassion and with joy, and with loss. Her accent in English when singing is very like that of our other 2004 Grammy-nominee, Björk and they are both incredible songwriters, but each has her own unique way of presenting truths through music.
Emiliana is a genuinely nice person and fully deserves this honor. Congratulatiuons, Ms Torrini!

Hi again, Miguel. We're both right...Emiliana is half Icelandic and half Italian.
Good to hear from you! -M
good stuff isn't it?
gald to be of service re: blog stuff. no harm done in a little more exposure, right? about grapevine, they're slackin a bit, aren't they? I wrote four articles for this last issue, but i don't have any more insider info than you. :-( once again, thanks for the encouragement!
Having been a bit of a fan for the last couple of years I was very excited to find out that she was touring England. Last week I managed to catch her gig in Bristol and boy was it fantastic! Her voice is to die for!! I took a few pictures and video clips while I was there, they've been uploaded and are on my site.
