Zara McFarlane - Chiaroscuro

I'm serving this up as a musical palate cleanser. I'll leave it to you to work out what food it sounds like.

It's understated and perfectly delivered. This is the kind of song that is always appropriate. As well as having one of the best names in the business, Zara McFarlane has a voice to reckon with: it's simultaneously visceral, emotional and poised.

She also shines, remixed and cut almost into scat, on this funked-up house number - it's sounding almost like garage with those sultry vocals and heavy bass. But her live version is even better - it's on her myspace.
