Amber's Artist Recommendation: Jenny Owen Youngs

I'm an avid listener of Regina Spektor. One day I stumbled on her Myspace page and saw a link to Jenny Owen Young's page. On a whim I decided to check it out and am I glad I did. The first song I listened to involved a clever gimmick of using messages recorded on a answering machine as an intro, it was entitled "Voice on Tape." The second thing that struck me about the song were the strong yet calm vocals by Jenny that convey much emotion. The song was fairly simple but ultimately catchy and won me over. It also helped that Regina Spektor was featured on that song.
