Jesca Hoop - Kismet

The critically lauded debut album Kismet from recording artist Jesca Hoop.

One of five children in a fifth generation Mormon couple, Hoop was steeped in a musical environment created by her family. She began performing as a child and starred in her high school choir. "We were never allowed to watch MTV," she recalls, "but I loved mainstream radio. My favorites were The Police, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, The Beatles, Cat Stevens, The Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, The Talking Heads, etc... In addition to my musical picks, my parents' music played a significant role in my development as a writer. We listened to Crosby, Stills and Nash, Paul Simon, Ian and Silvia, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Pentangle, The Pogues, Barbara Streisand and Abba, Abba, Abba."

Hoop has signed with 3 Entertainment, a newly formed co-venture with Columbia Records, and thanks to them and Jesca, check the entire album.
