Some nice jazz and lyrics from a young English music student named Maya Yianni can be heard here.
Speaking of lyrics, I can’t seem to crack the profiling in the latest KT Tunstall hit, “Suddenly I See”:
Her face is a map of the world
is a map of the world
You can see she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
People who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palmSuddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
This is what I want to be
Suddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
— Suddenly I see
This is what I want to be
Suddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to meAnd I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
And you can hear she’s a beautiful girl
She’s a beautiful girlShe fills up ever corner like she’s born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you’re trying to remember
What ya’heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wordSuddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
This is what I want to be
Suddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
— Suddenly I see
This is what I want to be
Suddenly I see
— Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to meAnd she’s taller than most
And she’s looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower
Big strong tower, yeah
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Yeah, yeah…
A real toe-tapper, but who is the source for the description? What’s really in the image she sees? According to Wikipedia, the Scottish Tunstall was “inspired by New York singer and poetess Patti Smith…”

Maya, I first heard your voice in the BBC talent contest. Congrats on your performance. I was amazed at how tight you sounded as a group and thought you guys definitely deserved the win. BTW, I know this is likely to be outside your specialty, but any chance you might do a cover of socially conscious songs like the Clash’s “Spanish Bombs” or Bad Religion’s “Sorrow“?
