Lucy Schwartz - Gravity

So we have mentioned her before but I have to say Lucy Schwartz really has something going on. At first I thought she was similar to Lenka and would have that one song that everyone loved and then kind of nothing, or would blend into the crowd of similar singer/songwriter chicks. I am quickly realizing I was wrong about that assumption. Her EP is so much fun to listen to and has a good variety of songs, I really like all of them especially "Those Days" and "Help Me! Help Me!". But my favorite song is still "I don't know a thing" I have been listening to it for months and I just don't get sick of it. I hope she continues to create, and grow, and will be able to fulfill our need for a songwriter/singer who is capable of encapsulating our 20-somethings anxiety issues (or just issues we can all relate to) in cute little packages tied with a ribbon that we call songs.

So this is the other gravity song you should know about. She just posted it on twitter and I couldn't resist posting it after seeing that she was ballsy enough to do interpretive dance for her video. I took a movement improv class in college that was embarrassing and awkward as hell but Lucy looks wonderful in this video and it works really well.

Lucy Schwartz - I don't know a thing

When people hear this song playing they always ask who it is. It just has a way of catching your ear. Lucy Schwartz is a new talent on the singer/songwriter scene and is someone worth keeping an eye on. I would group her with the likes of other newcomers like Amie Miriello, Amy Kuney, Marit Larsen, and Kate Earl to name a few. She just (as in 2 days ago) released a new EP called "Help Me! Help Me" it has a bit of different sound and I especially like the first two tracks, Help Me! Help Me! and Those Days. You can listen to some of it on her myspace page.   Her songs have been featured on many a TV show and in a few movies, so you might recognize her. I think this song is just really cute and fun to listen to. I'll be back tomorrow with some more testosterone fueled music. But enjoy this for now. "Only thing I know is I don't know a thing."
