Priscilla Ahn: "Dream"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

The best word to describe Priscilla Ahn, one of my latest musical finds (thanks, iTunes!), is lovely. Her songs are lovely, her voice is lovely (indeed, one of the loveliest I've ever heard), and, well, she just looks lovely.

And I mean all that in the best possible way.

Ahn is an exceptionally talented singer-songwriter -- check out her official site, MySpace profile, and Wikipedia page -- and, while I find some of her music a tad soporific, songs like "Dream" (with wonderful lyrics taking us back to her pastoral childhood) and the Beatlesesque "Astronaut" (both off her debut album, A Good Day), as well as "In a Closet in the Middle of the Night" (off an iTunes exclusive Live Session), show just how good she can be.

Here's the video for "Dream," her best song. Enjoy.
