Cool, I'll be interested to hear how you like the whole record. It's completely blown me away — it's all over the place, musically, but it all holds together. And somebody who can dance like that shouldn't be able to make an album that good.

I went from never-heard-of-her to number-one-fan over the course of like two hours. She's amazing. Like if you crammed Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Grace Jones, young Michael Jackson, 80s Michael Jackson, Billie Holiday, and Andre 3000 into the same body. And she's only 24 years old!

She's playing at the Paramount in Oakland early June, and I'm still considering going, even though the tickets are expensive and she's just opening for Erykah Badu. From what I've seen on video, her live shows are incredible. Definitely check out that Letterman performance if you haven't already — I knew I was hooked when they brought out the cape.
