found this lovely bit of stuff on my friend's taped copy of her friend's cd. bought my own, used and perfect. apparently there were record company feuds, but there is a new album somewhere. ah, that multilingual sweet loud and always strangely cheery and a little angry voice. the liner notes include cd suggestions. a fine thing I tell you, you have no idea, a woman i love to hear talk and sing and think and play. she got me driving too fast-- i got ticketed and blamed it on the music. I had to. it was the truth.

this is one of those albums that everytime i play it to a friend, they demand me to tape it for them immediately. the whole thing is just freakybrilliant. it's about strength and being a girl and love and life and it's delisciously sing-alongable and the lyrics will give you inspiration for weeks and i just adore it to no end. put on "praise" and dance around in your underwear as you smack a tambourine.

this girl has some serious pipes, some serious musical genius, and some serious talent with poetry.

i only wish she'd put out another one...

Kinnie Starr blew me away when i saw her perform on a stage the size of my coffee table a few years ago and still this disc surpassed my expectations. Think, PJ Harvey/4-track demos: very sexy, very fierce, playful and serious at the same time...what more could you ask for from two speakers? I've been waiting for seconds......

I really enjoy this album. I like the gritty guitar of "Ophelia" and the funky rhythms of "The month of trickery". But my favorite track is "Praise", "Happy's an emotion- it's not a thought- so kick back and praise whoever you praise-PRAISE THEM A LOT". I really hope that this album does well so that she can make others. If you like the independant spirit of Ani Difranco, I beiieve that you will truly enjoy Kinnie Starr.

If you key in kennie starr in the search engine as opposed to kinnie starr the new album will come up.

This is the first album of hers I got. She is really talented... her music goes all over the place. some songs are guitar heavy, some are kinda trip-hop. Her lyrics are great and span everything from love and spirituality to critiques of society; I love her spoken word. She has quite a few albums now, but the older ones are hard to find. I think this one is my favourite so far.
She's from the west coast of BC, and you can kinda tell (in a good way). She also switches mid-song between english, french, and spanish, although its mostly english. She sometimes has a kinda rap style of singing, but it works.

tidy is an incredible c.d.....So unique and artistic. I have a tape of her second album from a friend who knows her but because of record company feuds it hasn't been released and i don't know if it will be.
