CUHLARA!!!: Aselin Debison

Many don't know her, but, I'm not surprised. Her music is hard to appreciate, such genre is rarely appreciated. I don't find many who do. I don't find much who appreciates Celtic as I do. I first discovered her when I was searching for songs by Norah Jones. I chanced upon a beautiful medley of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (What a Wonderful World) by Aselin Debison. It was masked by Norah Jones' name, but I quickly came to realize the child-like voice and serene melody was simply unlike that of Jones.

I went to look it up.

And... The rest is history.

I've been listening to her since then.

It would be definitely uncanny to say I find serenity in her music, but I don't think it is impossible. Its the same way people feel a 'connection' to a song by Taylor Swift or even Miley Cyrus. I just feel more tranquil.

She not only does Celtic, which happens to be my favourite genre of songs to listen from her, but she does POP. However, it isn't like the POP we here today, or the POP tweens you see scouring the pages and covers of POP tiger. I don't know how else to 'genre-nify' her kind of POP, but I would say its rather comparable to the old kind. The kinds without autotune, LOTS of guitar and piano, probably the 90s era feel.

I always felt immensely 'connected' with a song or singer I like, but the feeling just dies a little after a while. Aselin however, her songs make me feel so nostalgic. I remember how I sang her songs in the shower three years ago when I sing it now. I remember how the I was first introduced to Celtic music, which I DO love. Its the kind of emotion you get from nostalgia mixed with a little bit of chocolate. I have no idea what that was supposed to me, but I guess anyone can interpret it their way.

Still, her voice is so child-like, it just feels right.
I don't know what RIGHT is, but it just feels so.

And, to give a face to the musician...
