    Wow, loved her the first time I heard her. Best gwoman, feme fatale for "shady" characters with a bad conciousness. I think she works hard and loves hard. If ahe wants to make the real money she get some jizzed on pictures like Ke£ha, just kidding. She's rare, she's famous and I'd bets he's not a narcissist (popular finger point.....),. I'm drunk, and listening to music, gefore I listened to her, I listened to Bone Machine, Exile on Main Street, and Avalanches,

    Voyageur has one of the coolest album covers I've seen in a good long while. It's really the only reason why I originally listened to the album, and I'm glad I did.

    Voyageur is her best work to date, it's so gorgeous. My early favourite of 2012.
