Not normally a big fan of sultry or poppy songstresses, I’ll cut some slack to those whose pipes are infused with disarming sass (Lily Allen) or an abundance of style without that vocal showoffiness which makes most of the shit played in nonheterosexual venues unlistenable.
And, indeed, Paloma Faith has all of the above. Girl can work a beehive, too. Her new single, “New York” arrives with a couple of disappointing remixes — Tom Middleton’s pedestrian and Cutmore’s too-anthemy efforts — but I’m kind of stuck on the original. Maybe you will be, too:

Hi bstewart23,
I’m feral geographer and along with Mae Callen of Driving Fast on Loose Gravel, I’m working on creating an active blogroll of queer blogs from Canada and/or by Canadians. The project is called Queer Canada Blogs, and we’ve added your blog!
Please check it out and let us know if you have any suggestions for blogs we can add.
Thanks!

I’m leaving the comment in, F.G., if for no other reason than to point folks in the direction of your blogs. I’ve added a badge for QCB here, too.
Very “Amy Winehouse”, but without the drug abuse.
…and better — much better — hair.
