As Lisbon's mellifluous Sara Tavares proved anew Friday night at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater, there is something special about singing in Portuguese. Especially when it comes from a gifted singer like Tavares, who has matured beyond her teen pop Whitney/Mariah phase into a lushly diverse vocalist capable of buoyant African phrasing, languid balladry, and quirky Rickie Lee Jones-esque tones...

The Band: Tempo No Tempo The Buzz: A nervy, worked-up band from San Francisco, Tempo No Tempo have been kicking around for nearly four years now, getting steadily better while remaining stubbornly under the radar. Their latest EP should change all that: blending hurtling dance rhythms with jabbing, elbowing post-punk guitars, the group takes a literal [...]
I have the honour and privelige to host a small radio programme and during the course of our discussions this evening we wondered if we could do a whole show based around music from albums which have people smoking on the covers of them. So far we're down with Rickie Lee Jones, Bowie's Young Americans and Marianne Faithful and Broken English. Any more? Minus points for anyone who flags up that 'Smoke,...
So…I’m having a bit of a revelation. I know this is terrible, but before today, I had never sat and listened to Rickie Lee Jones in my life. Of course I had heard a few of her famous songs, but I never owned an album or dove any further into her music. I wouldn’t have even been [...]

Your three best songs? The ones you have to ration yourself from playing too often in case they might ever spoil? A man on some crackling radio station was asking that question this morning - just while I tried to...
Rickie Lee Jones's 11th album shows inspiration, but only fitfully. Balm in Gilead opens with a song called "Wild Girl". Combining massed harmony vocals, doo-wop finger snaps, and skeletal jazz guitar chords, Rickie Lee Jones propels the song's unconventional structure with her unique, airy voice, building to a stirring yet understated climax. It's a hell of a way to begin an album, but the...
