Female vox electronica-pop. Slick, lush orchestral production and vocal effects. Easy on the ears. Wordy lyrics. Think Bjork or Hanne Hukkelberg. FCC clean. Picks 1,3,4,5

*1-5:37) Begins with loop of classical guitar playing minor rhythm changes. Beat comes in -4:50, mid-slow, nice vocal rhythm. Second verse in Spanish. -2:30 to -1:00 amorphous with vocal wailings. 7 sec. quiet.
2-5:00) Starts slow. -4:14 brisk beat. Ends quiet. Last 10 sec. silence.
*3-5:22) Beat enters at -4:28. Mid paced, but low volume with underlying tension. Bjorky. -:20 ambient fadeout.
*4-6:37) Very sparse, echoey, ambient. Beat enters -4:51 and gets stronger. Vocals enter with breakdown and becomes more synth rock. "mopey epic dancey feel". Last minute instrumental as beat slowly undresses.
*5-4:31) More coffeehouse jazz hip hop feel, someone's been listening to Amy Winehouse. More aggressive pop hook though. Ends with the hip hop beat.
6-6:58) Faint till -5:35. Plodding, lonely, swirling echoey, with long stretches of near silence, tough for radio. Last -2:00 are louder and instrumental. Last 40 sec. silence. Avoid.
