I wanted to post this separately because it's not hip hop. Breanne Düren is the best friend of one of my close friends so I met her almost two years ago. Düren is singer and pianist from the Twin Cities and though I knew she was talented after meeting her, I didn't get a chance to see her perform formally until her CD release show this past summer. Her self titled debut album features 11 stellar tracks of piano jazz music in the vein of Norah Jones (but waaaay better). From top to bottom the album is great. It's smooth and flowing. Düren's voice is beautiful.
All of this is relevant for two reasons. The first is that her album may well make my top ten best albums of 2oo8 list - and that's not because she's an acquaintance of mine. The other reason is that she just released a new holiday-themed track via her myspace. It's great. Check it it out here.
