Basia Bulat - Oh, My Darling
Basia Bulat (pronounced BASH-a BOO-lat) may be from London, but she’s certainly not British. This London, Ontario native has just released her debut full-length album after a self-released EP in 2005. Oh, My Darling is a melodic, soulful, uplifting LP, complete with intricate hand drums and deliciously sweet guitar riffs. “Why Can’t it Be Mine” is a wonderfully intoxicating rhythmic piece that is sure to please, while the piano-heavy “Snakes and Ladders” is as beautiful as it is urgent.
From her achingly delicate vocals to the unpresumptious ukeleles spread throughout the record, Bulat has hit a perfect balance of legitimate songwriting and intriguing instrumentation. So go and check out Oh, My Darling.
