WAIT WAIT WHAT GIVE ME are they as good as her released stuff?

From what I've heard, not quite as good but still very very nice. More chilled out sound. I still haven't listened through them all yet #flop They are all collabs with electronic artist Hiatus btw.

 

Links are on the previous page :)

Okay, I'm obsessed with her.

Like obsessed, obsessed, obsessed.

23 years old
mother: actress and  father: film-maker, has worked all over from South America and North America to nordic europe.

 

She got "introduced" to electronic music by her brother who's a drum & bass DJ.

 

influences: KT Tunstall, Solange, Dev Hynes, janet jackson, madonna, whitney houston, Patrice Rushen, Diana Ross, Tina, Raphael Saadiq, Dilla, & prince, pixies, massive attack & pj harvey. portishead, elton john & pink floyd

 

Appearently River has its' own "shura" demo but Hiatus guys heard it and jumped to her because they wanted to remix it. Then they made the whole album. The original file was here http://p1.soundcloud.com/player.swf?g=1&referer=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F8285924

 

Here's a video for River 

 

this is her old myspace https://myspace.com/shupictures (the photos are SO cute!)

Appearently, an EP got released in 2010! http://akirarecords.com/events/akira-records-presents-shura-ep-launch-party-25-november-2010/
