I was restocking my ipod (the shuffle) and I stumbled on an artist I haven’t listened to in a while, Kristy MacColl, I remember listening to ‘Desperate Character’ when I was in high school (on vinyl) - she was always one of my all-time favorites, and I remember being crushed when she died in 2000, and put ‘Desperate Character’ and ‘Tropical Brainstorm’ on permanent rotation here in the studio.

I haven’t heard any of the material that’s been released after her death, I generally don’t do that, regardless of the artist.

This video is Kristy performing ‘in these shoes’ which I suppose is her ‘signature song’, a song opportunistically covered by Bette Middler shortly after Kristy’s untimely death.
