ODi - One in a Million

Official | Buy on itunes

'One In A Million' is the new single fom Irish songstress ODi featuring Colm Mac Con Iomaire from The Frames / Swell Season on violin. Set for release in March 2011 through Littlest Mojo Music, the single is taken from ODi's debut album "Maslow's Songbook".

ODi started performing just three years ago and seems to be well recieved for someone new to the scene. Her voice is crisp and genuine and it is clear that her songs are written to highlight her beautiful vocals. But I like that the instrumental part seems thoughtful and well developed with the violin, piano, guitar, foot stomping and hand claps. ODi seems to offer a little bit more than your typical singer/songwriter which will make her stand out in this seemingly hit or miss genre. She has great potential to be a hit and I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Simon Fagan - Damn Honey

This is a fun song from an Irish singer/songwriter who is about to release his debut album, Outside Looking In, on June 7th. Simon Fagan's song "Never Really Cried" recently won the International Songwriting Competition's category for Best Performance, which is a really outstanding accomplishment for this new musician. You can download his EP for FREE from his website and I highly suggest that you do. His song "Bring the Dance" is a great upbeat song on the EP. I chose "Damn Honey" for today because it is his first single that can be found on his new album and the line "damn honey you got it all going on tonight" sounds remarkably natural coming from his mouth. You can listen to more on his myspace and if you happen to be around Ireland this summer you could catch him at one of the many festivals he is playing. Enjoy.
