Self-described woodland gospel artist Doe Paoro maintains the fact that the best American artists come out of New York, and this Brooklyn darling is also shockingly unsigned. I'm surprised, for one, as her folky-indie (a.k.a woodland) gospel is a breath of fresh air in the indie scene. Her Slow To Love has been out for a bit, and the track that you need to hear is "Born Whole."
The original "Born Whole" is a piano-tinged anti-ballad that laments the message we're born whole, then become half. Miss Paoro's smoke vocals are wonderfully atmospheric; I would like to see her perform "Born Whole" live in a Brooklyn indie club. I found a lot of remixes of the track, but the one that stood out to be was by unknown (to me) Kokyo, which injects "Born Whole" with jazzy beats and almost...almost...makes it club-worthy. Almost! I still think the remix is too outsider for most crowds, but we can enjoy it together, can't we?
