1. You Are Free – Cat Power
Released in 2003, I was mid-university, mid-relationship, and leaving my teenage years. I remember reading a very good magazine article, whilst my train allowed me to visit my girlfriend. After listening to it in the record shop, I soon decided it was a must buy. As I listened to it’s very emotive tunes, I realized that I must be at an age where music has to mean something. I found (and still do) Chan Marshall’s voice immensely powerful and heart wrenching. This album along with those of PJ Harvey, introduced me to the powers of a good female voice. I found many of Cat Power’s songs to have a fairly simple structure, so I became transfixed with the vocals.
