Keren Ann - NolitaGentle, introspective and almost narcotically slow, Keren Ann’s moody songs insinuate their way into the bloodstream like a potent drug. “La forme et le fond” shows the Dutch-born, French-raised artist’s fondness for François Hardy-style pop, while “Chelsea Burns,” with its fiddles and harmonicas, has a Cowboy Junkies, country-tinged feel. When the bilingual singer utters the words “my love,” on “One Day Without,” her soft, measured tones reveal an exquisite vulnerability. Blissfully sad, late-night music.
