Veri Perri

"To thine own self be true" says the tatoo on the right arm of Christina Perri. 

I find such melody in her voice, it is just unfair for her work to be classified as "Pop". Follow the tattoo preach ? 

Actually she does. Her song in the OST of the movie "Twilight - Breaking Dawn" is just the right concoction for both vampires and werewolves ! Sample it -  A Thousand Years

But there is more. She released an album this year titled "Lovestrong", which is stretched with many generes, starting with…ummm…"pop", but many songs don't quite pop out ! Trailing end of the album surrenders itself to a fair bit of melancholy-on-guitar. Some name taggers call her music "post-relationship"!

Here is a mini list of very likable ones, even while you're in a relationship.

1. Jar of Hearts
2. Arms
3. Distance (with the awesome Jason Mraz)

If her smile intrigues, her looks credit-roll to an Italian father and a Polish mother. Prior to breaking into music charts, Christina waited tables at an LA cafe during the day, writing and recording during the night. 

Take a moment to listen to the music. And don't forget to sip the coffee. Both are crafted in real fine hands !
