Mana boleh. Zee Avi ni org Miri, Swak & bukan Sabahan. Kalau Zee Avi boleh bag a few awards utama, mesti Pinoys ni semua malu. Bila pulak Zee Avi ni ada kena-mengena dgn Pinoy? Tak tau apa bangsa dia. Most probably dia Org Ulu or else Iban/Bidayuh.
BTW, lagu Bitter Heart tu sedap. Berkali2 dah tengok VC dia. Yg Kantoi tu sedap ke? Memang betul one forumner. Kalau minat Norah Jones, mesti suka Zee Avi.
Single Review: Zee Avi - 'Bitter Heart' By Sarah Chavey
Daily Arts Writer On March 29th, 2009 Single Review
Zee Avi
“Bitter Heart” 4.5 of 5 stars
From the folky corridors of Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records comesthe label’s first lady: Zee Avi. The songstress shines on her debut“Bitter Heart,” with heartrending words set to a sunny melody. Herlilting vocals soothe as she croons jazzy warbles with graceful easeover a bouncing double bass and brushed drums. Lyrics like “Bitterheart tries to keep it all inside ... Bitter heart is getting just alittle fragile,” are easier to swallow when complemented by Avi’splayful “doo doo” and “dah dah” injections. Her happy blend of jazzypop is love at first listen.
awan dah dgr semua lagu kat myspace zee. bestnyer!!! awan suka 95% lagu2 zee!
mmg talented sgt zee avi ni. hampir kesemua lagu dia yg compose. zee merakam semula lagu 'first of the gang to die' yg asalnya dinyanyikan oleh morissey.
walaupun awan x brape berkenan dgn lagu 'kantoi', tp credit to zee sbab perkenalkan BM kpd dunia, walaupun dirojakkan dgn BI. harap2 org msia n tokoh2 bahasa tak kutuk dia sbab menyanyi dlm Manglish.

trust me, u will love kantoi after u listen to her performing that song live
tk kisahlah pasal bahasa tu, nasib baik die selit2kan english words dlm kantoi tu so mat salleh tadelah clueless sgt..
bukannya die harass bahasa melayu pon, she do it tastefully to introduce bahasa melayu to the foreign ppl.
kalo perasan she does not only inject malay language in her work, but also srwk musical elements. in fact kaver album die, die pakai cam kebaya kan...die inject her cultural roots tastefully n creative manner.
Big money says Zee Avi's new self-titled CD will be available in Starbucks before you can say Accessibility Meets Post-Colonial Hip. Lucky for us, this won't be one of those Putumayo 'It sounded good in the store' purchases.
For my narrow American mindset you couldn't construct a more exotic background-Avi grew up in Borneo and Kuala Lumpur-but her sound is significantly less foreign than you might expect. She sounds like an excellent, once in a long while coffeehouse troubadour-she could be from Kinshasa or Hoboken, it really doesn't matter.
In fact, part of what Zee Avi accomplishes here to is to reset antiquated notions of the gap between cultures, at least in her generation: especially on her song "Kantoi," where she mixes her native tongue in with flat, unromantic American English lines like "My phone was on silent/I was at the gym." What had seemed exotic or idyllic is revealed as genuine.
Producers/promoters will inevitably start selling her as either the 'acoustic M.I.A.' or 'the Malaysian Norah Jones,' because Zee Avi is a gentle record, a good morning record, a future staple for the hungover or stressed out. Avi uses a familiar drifting, sultry vocal that lands somewhere in the land of Zooey Deschanel, Cat Power, White Hinterland (this is uncanny), even Cocorosie, occasionally veering in the Norah Jones-jazzy direction, usually backed by the sleepy acoustic guitar we should all expect out of Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records. Zee Avi and Jack Johnson can soon sing each other to sleep, resting their adorable, brave new world heads on the piles of cash they're sure to gather after this release. (www.zeeavi.com)

just for the record, boleh tak aku nak tanya.... dia ni memang melayu islam ker? whats her real name?
since stkt nie dia pun tk penah disclose her real name and other private personal things on media, why must we mengeletis nak amik tahu?
aku tk paham apsal certain orang suka kepochi menda2 private things mcm nie? why cant u guys just appreciate their talents.
their personal things is private lah. kalo dia tak disclose,tak pukul canang perkara2 private kt media, maknanya dia tak suka nak bercerita pasal menda2 tk related with her work.
ko tunggu jelah melodi michelle muka tebal tanya nnti.tkpong kalo ko brani, tak malu, tanya sendiri kt zee bila jumpe die depan2. jgn tarik muka wat wat mka "artist ke?tk kenal lah, ada aku kesah!" pulakkk
aiyyo.. tanya nama pun tak boleh ker? yg kau nak menggeletis apsal??? kalau tak tahu dah la... its not a big deAL...
memang lah dia berbakat, AKU ADMIT... and aku hope greater things for her.. aku just nak tahu nama jer, kalau sesaper tahu.. yg kau melenting tak tentu pasal tu apsal??? kalau tak tahu pun tak per... i'm sure zee bukan nama sebenar dia kan....
kengkadang, seseorang artis tu tak berjaya sebab peminat fanatik dia emotional nak mampos... piirah mabok...
anyway, zee@coco, aku suka kantoi... i'll support you....
anyway, aku tanya dia melayu ke tak, supaya aku boleh bangga.. ada anak melayu yg berjaya.... kejayaan tu lebih bermakna kalau melayu malaysian... kan.... so.. salahkah tanya race dia...????
nama dia kalau tak silap Izyan ke ape ntah..baca write-up kat Brushfire dia ni brought up in a liberal family...so faham2 je la..takyah nak panjang2kan isu ....just appreciate her music & talent...dia melayu ke ape ke tak membawa apa2 makna pong..dulu pernah baca blog dia, tapi lama dah dia tak update so aku pon dah lost link sume huhu
