Meaghan Smith - Take Me Dancing

Nova Scotia has so much talent! Yet, I still haven't posted a song from one of my favourite Nova Scotia bands, Wintersleep.

Meaghan Smith is, yes, once again, another record store listening booth purchase. When music companies don't know how to categorize an artist, Alternative & Punk seems to be the most common pigeon hole. But, I admit, she is hard to categorize. It's swing, it's jazz, it' contemporary, it has elements of hip-hop and dub. It is a very original production, a bit quirky and surprising. If you need a reference, the sound is a bit of a mix of Camera Obscura, Nora Jones and k.d. lang, but with a twist. She also got a bit of media attention with songs featured on One Tree Hill and Grey's Anatomy.

My gift to you today is a bit of Valentine's Day in advance. Two songs, from the heart.
