Adia in a soap opera, that sounds funny!
I discovered her in 1997, when she released Surfacing. Building a Mystery and Sweet Surrender were playing on the radio and that was it!
A friend also gave me Fumbling Towards Ecstasy as a birthday present and I had the possibility to listen more carefully to her songs. I was impressed by what I heard and this feeling is still there today. I was 14 years old when they started playing BAM on the radio and 15 when Sweet Surrender was out as a single. When I got my first job, at 17, I started to buy her records and forced my sister to listen to her too! She became a fan so I can share with her my love for the music. We went to a concert together in 2004 and my sister went to see 3 other shows. I was sad I couldn't go (I'm in France finishing my PhD), but she bought me a beautiful surprise that is waiting for me at home: a pair of Lilith Fair earrings.
Anyway, to make long story short, I am 30 now (almost 31), so I spent half of my life listening to her music.
Do you have friends who also like her music? Can you share your musical interest with people around you? My mother thinks her songs sound all the same!
By the way, my English is surely not better than yours, as French is my native language.
Oh, and I know it's a bit quiet these days on the boards, but please don't be shy to post messages in the topics you like!
