Album Notes Audio Mixer: Robert Carranza. Born in Borneo and with the ukulele as her chief instrument, Malaysian singer-songwriter Zee Avi's biography reads much more exotically than her debut album, a surprising straightforward set of jazz-tinged folk pop in the mold of Feist and Norah Jones. Released on Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records--a fitting home considering its easy-on-the-ears nature, ZEE AVI has a winning charm due to the songstress's feather-light approach to singing and strumming. Listeners shouldn't be fooled by the breezy nature of the arrangements, however: songs such as "Bitter Heart," "Is This the End," and "Last of the Gang to Die" all suggest a lyricist familiar with the dark side.
Editorial Reviews Her arrangements are music-hall clever....Avi sounds natural and unaffected -- she's a well-educated kid who's not afraid to show it. Paste
