Los Angeles Loves... K Á R Y Y N

You might not immediately recognize the mysteriously evocative voice behind K Á R Y Y N but give it a second (or just look at those big brown eyes above) and a familiar name will come to mind. K Á R Y Y N (pronounced kah-reeen) is the new project from Kárin Tatoyan who only a few years ago we, ourselves, proclaimed could outlash Natasaha Khan herself. Don't bother trying to YouTube her -- nothing on there does her justice. Her performances were a revelation, a fiery bravado that was as moving as it was breathtaking. With audiences buzzing and blogs, um, blogging soon labels came calling.

And then she just left.

Without knowing all the back story of her departure, we do know she moved first to New York and then to Berlin where she now lives. She's been working on music, both for herself and for others, including an upcoming film with Oscar winning director Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) and Oscar winning composer A. R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). She's also currently working on an EP with German house gods Âme and in January she'll head to Iceland to finally record the music she performed four years ago in Los Angeles. After which she's hoping to get back on a stage where her music is obviously best heard and where, we believe, she's most at home. And, hopefully, that home is Los Angeles.

We love K Á R Y Y N.
