Lhasa de Sela - discovered her a fortnight ago, she'd completely passed me by, but how. I bought Lhasa on a whim, put it in the player and sat stunned for the duration of the album. Beautiful melancholy, bittersweet adjectives - two days later I looked her up on AllMusic, she had passed away at 37 a year and a half ago from breast cancer - tragic, truly tragic.
