note as of 11-23-14: Zuni has a new Twitter account for her music.
I’m aware there is currently a huge press push for The Desolation of Smaug, but I am taking a short break from the deluge and soothing myself with an artist I’ve come to adore. Hey, I run a fan blog, so my adoration has to go somewhere when I’m taking a breather from our guy, which I’ve done a few times this last year.
When I first witnessed Zuni Stevenson’s performances several months ago, it was due to her following me on Twitter, and I responded as per usual — going over to the website or YouTube channel listed on the profile and checking it out. The thumbnail on the first video looked like at least a thousand others I’ve seen and usually come away from respecting the person for sticking out their neck with a public performance and nothing more. But Zuni didn’t just have chutzpah. Damn! this girl actually had some talent:
I was also charmed by her sweet but somehow knowing demeanor, so I watched another video:
And another one:
And another one:
And before I knew it, I was a fan and had these songs converted to MP3 and loaded on my phone with this possibly being my favorite:
Yes, please, please give Zuni what she wants, which is to make singing her full-time profession. Obviously, I believe she can attain it, and a big part of that confidence is not just in her talent for singing but in her ability to take a song and make it hers. I now count her cover of Life on Mars as my favorite version.
Not long after I listened to those first few videos, I found myself wishing she had some original material, and then it happened:
May this continue! And please note that even if I already owned some of these songs, I bought all of them from the original artists as a sort of support for Zuni. But I look forward to the day I can buy her music. Hopefully, someone who can help her is out there listening!
To hear more from Zuni, check out her website and her YouTube channels here and here. You can also follow her on Twitter.
another note: I’m not sure why Zuni followed me. Maybe she’s a Richard Armitage fan. :D
