I didn't know much about her at all, so I did a quick wiki check and this is what I found:
"Emiliana Torrini Daviosdottir (but crazy icelandic symbols) born May 16, 1977 is an Icelandic singer, best known for her 1999 album Love in the Time of Science and for performing "Gollum's Song" during the ending credits of Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers..."
That sounds like the answer to some useless trivia question, but nevertheless I urge anyone who's into indie/acoustic/folk with warm female vocals to check out her latest album, the 2008 album, Me and Armini. I'm a bit over 1/2 way through the album on my first listen. What's stood out, besides Emiliana's almost breathy but beautiful voice, is the instrumentation. The bass especially has stood out with bouncy, pulsing with energy bass lines. Jungle Drum has just come on, which is an energetic, poppy number some might view as silly, but is simply good fun to listen to. Check her out with sounds ranging from slow moody burning rock tracks seeping with emotion to bouncy joyous tracks! Some linkage:
