Giovanca Ostiana is a soul singer from Amsterdam. She's enjoyed mild success here in the Netherlands, but this will probably be a nice surprise for you non-Dutchies. Her music is an uplifting, jazzy take on that new-soul-that-sounds-like-old-soul thing.
We saw her perform last year at the Amsterdam Roots festival, and she was every bit as warm and lovely live as she is on the album. Great band, too. Her second single, "Joyride", is the one that's been stuck in my head all day, but I also love her first single, "On My Way". The very nice video is by local Amsterdam photographer Yamandu. I like his style, and I swear I'm gonna hire him first opportunity I get.
