Tina Dico is a Danish indie pop singer, and Count to Ten is her second international album (which has been nominated for “Best Album” by the 2008 Danish Music Awards). Her voice is a clear alto, but the focus is more on the songwriting, opposed to her voice (though it shines in “Cruel to the Sensitive Kind”). The songs are low on hooks, but if you like somewhat-somber, introspective female singer-songwriters with meaningful lyrics, you should find something to like. Check for yourself.
Quarters for the songs: Night Cab; Count to Ten; You Know Better; Craftsmanship; My Business; Cruel to the Sensitive Kind; Magic (a bit Damien Rice-esque); Sacre Coeur.
Worth listening, if you like: Brandi Carlile; Neko Case; Beth Orton; Feist; Imogen Heap; Jewel; Missy Higgins; Tori Amos; Kathleen Edwards.

Pingback by Pages tagged "beth orton" April 13, 2008 @ 1:16 pmNoticed you just wrote about Tina Dico. Thought you might be interested in one of my favorite artists, AM. He is going on tour with Tina Dico in Germany soon and just did a duet of The Beatles “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” together. Found him on Tina’s page and fell in love with this music. He’s next to impossible to Google?? Blame it on his name… Ha. Check him out at http://www.amsounds.com or http://www.myspace.com/amsounds.

Comment by Andrew April 14, 2008 @ 2:28 pmLeanna — thanks for the head’s up. I’ll add him to the playlist for this week … always glad to find something new.
Andrew — thanks again, for your insightful commentary, per usual. (p.s. I found a potentially decent new country single for you I’ll post later this week — Hayes Carll)
Comment by Patrick April 15, 2008 @ 9:23 amPatrick, I’m sad. I didn’t see AM in your jukebox. *Tear* How disappointing…. I think I’ll go cry now.
Comment by Leanna May 19, 2008 @ 1:35 pmLeanna, don’t be sad. I was listening to him, but hadn’t included in the weekly “jukebox” as I had been keeping that to just new stuff for the week. I’ve now included for this week. Again, thanks for passing the name along … I’m liking it quite a bit.
Comment by Patrick May 20, 2008 @ 4:42 pmI also want to thank Leanna for the heads up about AM. I checked out his stuff and I am enjoying having new music on my playlists. Looking forward to hopefully seeing him on tour somewhere, him and Tina should do some more shows together!
