I’m not sure how many of you have heard this but after I saw this news I was overjoyed.Our local music scene which has been struggling to get its long time overdue support has finally got the chance to prove to Malaysians that we do have what it takes to be on par with the worlds best.
What news and who am I talking about?
None other than Malaysia’s very own Zee Avi!Recently Zee’s self-titled debut album was given a spot in the Associated Press’s Top 10 Albums of the year.Zee came in 9th and this is what AP wrote:
“Listening to Zee Avi might make you recall Kimya Dawson’s quirky lyrical style, but the Malaysian-born Avi has an eclecticism all her own on her debut CD. Her voice sounds dreamy, her lyrics smart and humorous. And paired with her acoustic picking, she sounds intoxicating.”
We at Homegrown and I’m sure many of us are very proud of Zee and how much she has achieved to date.We hope she keeps doing what she does and eventually prove to the world that Malaysia has got what it takes.
Congratulations Zee!!!
Support!Follow the Movement!
