Akiko is one of my favorite songwriters. We first met because our CDs were sitting next to each other at a Brooklyn music shop, and since then I've been inspired by every one of her releases.

We met on Myspace (loved her music) and on her trip to NY she practiced on my piano then invited me to do a co-bill in Italy with her. Thanks to that I now call Padova my home. Fiery, gorgeous music.

Grandmother's Tea Leaves
by Emily Bezar
supported by 4 fans who also own “LED”
She's definitely got a voice similar to Kate Bush - and that's why Emily Bezar is frequently compared to the legendary grande dame of art rock. Regarding her songwriting, however, I think she's much closer to Tori Amos - another comparison that constitutes something of a hallmark of excellence. Besides all those similarities, Emily Bezar most of all sounds like herself - no doubt, she's got her own unique style that sets her apart from all Bush/Amos sound-alikes. "Just Like Orestes", for instance, is an adventurous and overwhelming magnum opus that reaches far beyond all expectations fueled by the songs preceding it, and "Madame's Reverie" closes the album with an even bolder sound collage that takes the listener into avantgarde fields.
