Let me start off by saying that I have a thing for these soulful, sultry, raspy, whiskey and cigarettes voices. I appreciate a beautiful girl with a beautiful mind and voice to match. Gin Wigmore is one of these underrated artists. Granted, she's a star in her native New Zealand, but America has yet to discover her brilliance. But they probably wouldn't care anyway. America likes what it likes and there's a certain formula here that makes you a star. Hopefully, we can stop obsessing over the predictable and give stars like Gin Wigmore a chance to shine.
"Too Late for Lovers" is a single off her orgasm of a debut album, Holy Smoke. The CD went quadruple platinum in NZ (note: platinum in ZK is selling 15,000 copies). A little bit of background: Wigmore won the US International Songwriting Competition in 2004 for her song "Hallelujah," which she wrote in memory of her father. She was the youngest and only unsigned writer in the history of the competition. Holy smoke.
