Rilo Kiley - Portions for Foxes

Link.

Favorite lyrics: 'Cause you're just damage control for a walking corpse like me - like you.

Rilo Kiley is the flint spark that starts a bonfire - she's not synonymous with girl lead singers like Colbie Calliet, who is a great vocalist but lyrically predictable; instead, she quietly starts a kind of musical flame. Rilo Kiley puts an edge to her songs and voice, and adds a badass angle to her work, which is added to the syrupy, generally great vocal genre of female musicians like Florence and the Machine. Her great voice is what you hear on the radio a lot, but her adaptation of her own music - the extra breaths, the sarcasm, and the tangible feel of a certain kind of feeling - makes her stick out.
