Peppi Kamadhatu

Today I came into my friend's room. His winamp was playing 'Can't smile without you' by Barry Manilow. Yeah, most people must know this song, this song even 'seldomly' played on the TV ads. :)
Right after the song ended, the next song was also 'Can't smile without you' covered by woman. It sounds more jazzy and rather swingy.

It was Peppi Kamadhatu, her name was Peppi and Kamadhatu was the name of her former band. And you know what? She's Indonesian.
I googled her and it turned out that her last album was released in 2006, hahaha, where have I been? It was 5 years ago, and I've never heard any about her or hers.

She had 3 albums, she covers many popular songs into swing jazzy ones. Not that jazzy that has many transitions in every chords, they are very easy listening instead. but still, it doesn't reduce the intimate ambient of modern jazz essentially.

Michael Buble's, Jamie Cullum's, Teddy Pendergrass', James Morrison's have been stuck in my playlist these days. Mostly, I play them at night. After all the day I share the laughter with my college and flat friends, I sometimes turn my night time into some kind of a sentimental, intimate, ~or any adjective that has relative with the word 'quiet'~ one.

But for tonight let me temporarily delete all you guys from my playlist. I'm gonna have Peppi Kamadhatu's 'do' me. Anyhow, out of the context, she's beautiful also, just like her voice.. :)

You should listen some of her songs sometime, or just try 'Can't smile without you' by her as a teaser.
TTFN, cheers everyone!!
