Singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini composes an exquisite vocalic ravisher, interchangeable to the hums of Beth Hirsch and Kirsty Hawkshaw, fashioning Torrini's ingenuousness a fragile shake off of aglow imagery. She is of Italian and Icelandic decent, just lives in England, and her cultural seascape is ever more inviting when her soft-spoken compositions are heard. She joined forces with Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal to make her first-class honours degree album Love in the Time of Science, which was released in fall 2000 on Virgin. Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson heard her cool, nonnatural croon and approved Torrini to voice the finis music for 2002's The Two Towers, and she followed up this cinematic achievement by cathartic the soft-spoken merely beautiful Fisherman's Woman in early 2005.
