Kim Taylor

Singer-songwriter Kim Taylor has a beautiful new album out called I Feel Like A Fading Light that puts many singer-songwriters to shame. A native of Florida, Taylor has been living in Cincinatti since the late 90's with her family.

Taylor's new album was recorded with Jimi Zhivago, formerly of Ollabelle and features Mars Volta drummer Blake Fleming

From Cincinatti City Beat dot com:
"Zhivago and Taylor capture the songs' organic atmospherics and candle-flicker ambiance to perfection, never piling on too much extraneous ornamentation in favor of allowing the songs to hover on their own inherent power. For Fading Light, it's her gauzy singing that is the most immediately grabbing element, her voice floating in the same hemisphere as smoky, emotive song merchants like Fiona Apple or Beth Orton, but with the liquidity and phrasing of a classic, creative Jazz chanteuse like Billie Holiday. Fading Light is intoxicating, narcotic Pop with depth and soul, darkly effervescent and as bewitching as any record you'll hear this year. Visceral, timeless and seductive, it's the kind of album you can get lost in, never caring if you ever find your way back out."

Nice...
