Music recommendation - Terra Naomi

 

Terra Naomi - Rock / Pop / Alternative

 

Occasionally a new artist will emerge by the sheer strength of people power alone. Rarely, are they without a record deal. This, however, is exactly what’s happened with US indie-chanteuse Terra Naomi. From waiting tables in NYC to 5 million You Tube views (and counting), word of mouth has hand-selected its protégé with alarming Darwinian skill. No marketing, no ploy – just a triumph of music over all.

Terra is the real deal – a pure, powerful singer/songwriter who has nailed the tone of modern life. Her launchpad track ‘Say It’s Possible’ – an acoustic gem inspired by Al Gore’s film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ – caused an explosion when posted on You Tube last year. Featured on the site’s main page, it spread through online forums with stealth before clocking up 1 million views in a matter of days and bagging her “Best Music Video” at the first ever You Tube awards; that in turn created several high profile US TV performances. It also spawned 200+ tribute imitations and landed the rising singer/songwriter a record deal. Newly resident to London, Terra now embarks upon a career with Island Records UK.

Comment: I had this girl from the start of my YouTube account subscribed - I was stunned when she announced her big record deal. ( … will try to keep you up with such things … Esmendes, MiaRose, bladibla )
