Mesmerizing and demure, her allure is a thing of mystery. Her soft spoken off beat style is not the typical type you would attribute to the standard soul singer. But when she sings your ears stand at attention. Swedish electro-soul songstress Kissey Asplund is an addictive wonder, and I've been hooked on her sound ever since I first heard her music on Myspace. Her sound and style was so intriguing I not only had to find out more about her music but also about the music that she listened too because it was so inspired. It's through her unique style and ear for music is how I found all the artists that I love today and probably wouldn't have if I hadn't heard of her first. Her music is one of the reasons that I do what I do. And it's only fitting that I pay tribute to one of the artists that inspires me. This special tribute mix 'A Blues For Kissey' is a blend of some of my favorite Kissey Asplund tunes. Some from her extraordinary debut album 'Plethora' and other rare gems, guest appearances, and exclusives that showcase her amazing talent. If you haven't been up on Kissey Asplund before then I hope this will urge you to get to know her. I'm sure you'll be as hooked on her as I am.
