The elfin enchantment of Julie Fowlis

  Scotland has another pride and that’s through this elfin singer Julie Fowlis. She has the kind of voice that any Kate Bush and Bjork fans would love.She was featured in  BBC as  artist of the year.

 

  The music is laid back and stripped with all the clutter that marks most studio productions. This way it gives you a glimpse of the soul inside. Visit her official site. You can also check her out in MySpace.
