Repeating my suggestion from 2 years ago:
To anyone: go check out the song "I Never Will Know" sung by Tanita Tikaram, on Mark Isham's self titled LP. Wonderful!

Anyone here a Lena Lovich fan?

Never even heard of this singer, let alone listened, but I liked the Wiki article about her. She looks like a horror queen there, which is enough for me to get interested - surely going to check her music. Shall post my 1st impressions.

You can't go wrong with her Stateless album. It's a great debut. She has been semi-retired for 30 years so there aren't that many albums of hers.

Gave it a bunch of plays recently - some is good, some not. The highlights for me are 2 hits ("Lucky Number", "Say When"), "Telepathy" (the "lalalalala"s & "te-lepathy-y-y-y" responses are sweet, the song in general is very laidback & spring-like), "One in a Million" (done in a cool military style, Lene's "soldier" vocal is the best of all her many facets) & the absolute killer "Home". The bonus tracks are good to OK, my fave is the Devo cover (the drum & basslines are terrific!). I'd replace it with the awful saxophone-driven "Tonight". Hands-down the worst song on the official tracklist. To summarize, 3 stars.
It's amazing how despite her viking image, she appears quieter than a cow during the interviews. The link below is no exception, however, that rooster fancy dress is so out of taste & looks very stupid on her. Add to that also bad choreography, the guitar player's rockstar poseur antics, clumsy questions & you've got total mess.

Btw, for those into Christmas songs, Lene did lovely cover of "I Saw Mommy". It's somewhere on YT.

I have always loved this album from 1978...
...but have never had the desire to investigate Ms Hagen any further.

Funny that you mentioned her, she & Lene are bosom friends, they both collaborated on the song "Don't Kill The Animals". As a result, Lene is a converted vegetarian & animal rights' supporter.

Very nice. They're also, in my humble opinion, the best in Christmas genre. Did you hear
this album
? 24 tracks, no less! You can find it on iTunes, Youtube has a clip called "Christmas caroling with the Roches". Check it out.

Wow. I'm not into Christmas albums as a rule but this is really something:

Thanks for the heads up , RR. Now I'm just going to have to wait a bit.
