Dessa! I love her so much! We were able to see her when she came through on her Chime tour, and she is so amazing live. I know what you mean about her lyrics, they're the kind of poetic that brings out more meanings the more times you hear them, while still being intensely emotional and raw. I don't know how she manages to do both at once!

I haven't heard Paul Shapera before; I'll give them a listen once my internet stops acting up. Thanks for the link!
