(get it) I think indie music has always had a place for really talented women, we're just getting lucky these days... really? building on Winehouse’s momentum? that seems a bit broad. (get it)

I think indie music has always had a place for really talented women, we’re just getting lucky these days…

Over the last several years, there have been many many stellar female performers and recordings (PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, last year's release by Tegan & Sara, Feist, goldfrapp, St. Vincent, the largely neglected '06 release by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians that was frickin stellar, to name just a few), but none that really broke through, with possible exception of KT Tunstall. And she's more straight-ahead pop. Winehouse really captured that 50s girl group sound and look in a way that resonated with the general public, while still managing to sound unique. It is obvious that she inspired a lot of the current crop - esp Cat Power and Duffster. Thx for writing. I generally agree with you.
