From Rolling Stone:
Zee Avi
Zee Avi 5/19
"She's got a voice that sounds like something from the past, but you can't put your finger on it," says Jack Johnson of Zee Avi, the Malaysian YouTube discovery he signed to his label. The singer-songwriter flew in from Kuala Lumpur to work with Johnson's band at its solar-powered studio in L.A. The album has a brunch-friendly acoustic swing vibe: "Just You and Me" features Avi on ukulele, "First of the Gang to Die" is a chilled-out Morrissey cover, and on "Kantoi," she sings in the Malay-English hybrid known as Manglish. "I do that one last when I perform at home," she says. "It really gets the crowd going."
