KENDAL THOMPSON, “It’s Time” and “Love” (videos)
Alliston, Ontario native Kendal Thompson has one of those ages-old sometimes bluesy voices that can flip into any musical style she chooses. So it’s not surprising that her voice can sound like Jewel, Lauryn Hill, or Amy Winehouse, depending on the song. “It’s Time” and “Love” are both originals, and you can hear the care and emotion that has gone into the writing as well as performance. You can find both songs on iTunes. Kendal is also an apt interpreter – my choice would be her cover of Jessie Ware’s “Wildest Moments”. Watch the performance video of “Love” (above) and the lyric video of “It’s Time” (below) to hear what I’m talking about. She is rumoured to have a wicked live set, and if you’re in Toronto tomorrow night (January 7) you can catch her show at The Painted Lady at Ossington and Dundas West.
