Eve's voice purrs like a kitten and howls like a demon, takes you up to the top of the mountain and then plunges you into an abyss of despair; it taunts and entices, toys with your affections and gives you hope, then spurns you with its heel and walks away. It marries the sophistocation of the computer age with the heartache of the hungry thirties, the angst of young love forever lost with the confidence of a mob connection in the family. How can such a brash voice be so worldly wise?

When I first heard Eve Selis sing it was a revelation. Here was someone almost completely unknown outside her own home town of San Diego with all the maturity and clear certainty of a seasoned worldclass performer. There is no hesitation, no awkwardness, no doubt at all. Her songs know who they are, where they are headed and how to get there. And if you listen, just listen, they will take you along for the ride.
