I've been listening to zee avi(formerly known as KokoKaina) after being introduced by my friend, who happens to consult me to do a video on youtube just like her. So, i was searching for her in youtube, and try to listened to her song. And I was stunned by her voice! She has such a great voice, reminds me of Norah Jones and Ella Fitzgerald. What's more surprising that she's a Malaysian, or to be precise, a Sarawakian! Ok she's living in America so what? At least she remembered her hometown. Her talents is real. She can play guitar (and ukelele as well!), while sings perfectly, which is a very2 hard thing to do, trust me. Too bad only 1% of Malaysian people knows her (damn that's why our entertainment industry sucks, just like our football.) :P

Her music is what i like to describe as mellow, soothing, a music that makes you calm and at rest. It's not too fast, neither it's too slow. the arrangement was simple, but that's what makes her songs really good. The lyrics are also simple, but have a poetic and deep meaning. Sometimes i laugh when listening to her song because most of her songs have a sad lyrics but her music tells it otherwise. As I mention before, her voice plays a big role in her songs, and with voice like her, it's not too exaggarating to say that her songs are just perfect.

Her most popular song must be Bitter Heart. The song tells a story about a girl(or a wife maybe?) who is heartbroken and getting tired of his man that always come home late, and suspected him of having another girl. It's a pretty simple 2.37 minutes song. It sounded mellow with a little bit of jazz. Another song is Honey Bee, which is my favourite. The song is about two people who are in love and try to escape from the world that they hate. Based on the lyric, the female try to save the male from the hated place with a help of her friends, and finally they are together. Kinda like romeo and juliet, but this time juliet comes to save romeo.hrmmm....Another one that is my favourite is the song called "kantoi". Probably her shortest song, and the funniest one! the song is in Manglish (malaysia-english) and the lyric is pretty straightforward. Try to listen to it and i'm sure you will love it, or rather laugh out loud. :D

So guys, what are you waiting for? Grab her album now(if u really2 like her music), or just download it on the net, or you can see her on youtube.

beautiful face with beautiful voice. Seing girls playing guitar really turns me on. :)
