  Rachael Yamagata - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Singer/songwriter Rachael Yamagata grew up listening to Carole King, Roberta Flack, James Taylor, and the like, for music was the one thing in Yamagata's life that remained consistent.
By the time she reached college in the mid-'90s, Yamagata had one year of piano lessons and a spiral notebook full of songs under her belt.
In September 2002, Yamagata landed a deal with Arista's Private Music and her self-titled EP arrived in October.

  Hot Sauce: Rachael Yamagata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Rachael Yamagata became known to Chicago music fans after joining the high energy funk/soul/hip hop band "Bumpus" as a harmony vocalist.
To test out her songs, Rachael sat in on an open mic night and the next day she ran into an artist who gave her the business card of a talent scout that led to her first showcase at the Viper Room in 2001.
Rachael describes her initiation into solo recording as similar to her initiation to solo performance: fast and intense.

 Rachael Yamagata
And although the crowd did get a rise out of her "asshole" comment, it was more the fact that there was that realness to what she was saying and how she was saying it that was the bait for the crowd to be reeled in.
And when Yamagata proves she is woman, she does it with a realness, a variety of passion and a roller coaster ride of pleasures and pain.
Yamagata was not up there to roar like a cartoon rendition of a feminist, but rather be herself, a true woman who roars, growls and even purrs.

 Rachael Yamagata, Shank Hall, Milwaukee, WI October 5, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Whether Yamagata was behind the keys, playing guitar, or wielding a tambourine and shaker, the singer-songwriter displayed a command over the instruments and her voice by using dynamics effectively.
While there were shining moments in the show, Rachael singing after stepping a few feet away from the mic, the strings getting to solo, and an encore featuring Rachael alone on the piano, the performance was much more polished and reserved than the gig opening up for Gomez last February at the Rave.
Even though Rachael Yamagata did not display the same energy as she did at the Rave show, the quiet and acoustically wonderful moments at Shank Hall (which are nearly impossible at the Rave) made up for the lower energy show.

Rachael Yamagata is the answer for anyone who's tired of whiny diva pop chicks.
If Yamagata appeared on American Idol, they'd declare her the winner and cancel all remaining episodes (we should be so lucky!).
Rachael gets playful with the piano and stretches her raspy voice in "I Want You." The album closes with "Reason Why," a stunning ballad, "Moments With Oliver," a brief string interlude, and "Quiet," which is exactly what the title implies.

 Happenstance - Rachael Yamagata - Music Reviews
Yamagata's voice is full of elliptical slides and slurs; it swoops, croons, rasps, and whispers; it looks for the crack in a lyric in order to reveal the depth behind it.
Oliver Kraus' cello and the two pianos carry the melody and vocal lines into a kind of finality that never rules out the beauty of memory or the glimmer of hope that lies in all brokenness, the truth of which is borne out by a final, hidden track.
Rachael Yamagata could be sensational and it’s unfortunate that she isn’t more consistent.

 Amazon.com: EP: Music: Rachael Yamagata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Rachel Yamagata has just signed her first record deal--with RCA Victor Group--and is essentially launching her solo career from a 900-square-foot Ukrainian Village apartment that has all the ambiance of a weather center.
Yamagata may be compared to established singers like Norah Jones or Fiona Apple, but the flavor of her songs is all its own.
Yamagata starts off on a strong note with the sad, cello-laden "Collide," before shifting to the catchier "Known For Years" and the fast-paced "Worn Me Down" ("Worn me down to my knees/I did anything to please/But you can't stop thinking about her").

 hip online: artist: Rachael Yamagata
Rachael sang backup and played keyboards and flute with Bumpus two to three gigs a week while attending school and holding down a series of random jobs including, secretary, sushi waitress, bartender, and dry cleaners clerk.
Rachael was a huge success as a vocalist and went on to record two albums with Bumpus and tour extensively with them.
Indeed, witness Rachael's mellifluous vocals riding atop "Collide’s” stunning string swells and organic beats or the melodically-infectious "Wore Me Down" buoyed by a guitar that sounds like it was recorded underwater or the raw power of her exposed pathos-fueled vocals on "These Girls" (Hidden track).

 SPIN.com: Rachael Yamagata - Happenstance
But it almost seems that the person affected most by all the attention is Yamagata herself--by the (literal) sound of it, she's succumbed to the numerous comparisons to her peers, in particular Norah Jones.
Yamagata clearly understands the formula that will ensure her a successful career: slick, jazzy piano melodies glide beneath her smoky, sultry Jones-esque voice that occasionally delivers the caustic bite of a singer like Fiona Apple.
Yamagata may not be able to separate herself from the shadow of other female artists, but Happenstance, while inconsistent, shows she has the chops to do so one day.
