Montreal singer/songwriter NEeMA has had a lot of success with her sophomore album Watching You Think , touring many of Europe's big festivals. Now she's returned home to continue to promote the record, co-produced by Leonard Cohen and Pierre Marchand ( Rufus Wainwright , Sarah McLachlan ), in a far more intimate setting. I've got a pair of passes to give away to NEeMA's show December 4th at The Drake in Toronto . Win them by hitting me up one of these ways: Email [...]
![[Live Review] NEeMA (The Sugar Club, Dublin)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3569656_lg.jpg)
Tweet What could have been a run of the mill Monday night (4th July, 2011) was beautifully transformed by NEeMA. I had only heard one song by her before I walked into the Sugar Club so was unsure what to expect. It turned out to be a spot of folk mixed with a mostly pleasant pinch of world music thrown in. NEeMA (real name Nadine Neemeh), hails from Canada but does come across as a nomad of sorts telling stories of [...]
Born of Egyptian and Lebanese decent, NEeMA has traveled extensively, having shared time with the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa, worked with street children in Egypt, as well as having had the privilege of working with the Tribal Elders of Wekweti, an isolated First Nation community in northern Canada. The singer makes her Irish debut next week with shows at The Sugar Club, Dublin on 4th July and Triskel Christchurch, Cork on 5th July - touring in support of her Watching You Think album that features the likes of Howard Bilerman, Tim Kingsbury (Arcade Fire), Tom [...]

When Leonard Cohen speaks, people that know anything about music listen. So it's little wonder that Canadian siren NEeMA is on a sharp ascent. Cohen recently had this to say about the Montreal-based, Lebanese songstress: "in the midst of all the static, a voice of true feeling arises - a rare event!" Hard to argue [...]
It's been a minute since our last video. This isn't really a video so much as it's a montage set to a fresh new track, but we wanted to give you some visuals so you an see who you're hearing. You probably haven't heard of Notion (or Neema). Notion hails from Seattle and is a 25 year old rapper/producer. Macklemore (friends of Notion, also from Seattle) you may know from his sick song Otherside . After hearing this track Soul Steps you may decide to get a little more familiar. Give [...]

The time has come to whittle down all the albums I've listened to over the year and cut it down to the 20 best. I'll be publishing 20-11 today, and 10-1 tomorrow, so be sure to check back tomorrow for the rest of them! First off though, here are 5 albums that were on the bubble but just didn't quite make it: Sungha Jung-Perfect Blue / Kina Grannis-Stairwells / Willy Mason-So Long Baby Shoes / Joe Purdy-This American (free download until the end of this month) / Dark Time Sunshine-Vessel [...]
I recently got a chance to see the Chapin Sisters live which was awesome, but one of the real surprises of the night was the opener. Her name is NEeMA, and her music is absolutely beautiful. She is from Canada, and her most recent album, Watching You Think , was produced in association with fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen. Hearing that really grabbed my attention as I am a huge Cohen fan. NEeMA's songs are mostly light hearted, and touch on subjects such as her dog ( Elsa's Lullaby ), looking for an escape from a broken relationship [...]
It´s just another Wild Weekend as we jazz it up revolutionary style with mr. Shepp, take L Dopa with mr. Albini and preview El Classico with mr. Smith. Plus we´ve got a Cohen protégé, an sixties acid folkie and a new bluesy talent to watch. Enjoy and please do have a wild one. And we´re off in jazz mode with Archie Shepp and a soulful monster from his ´72 masterpiece Attica Blues . Grooves like hell, lamenting in the meantime the miserable fate of activist [...]

We're thrilled to be presenting The Chapin Sisters and NEeMA tonight at the Cactus Club . The Chapin Sisters spent their spring supporting She & Him on tour.

We've been spinning their recent release, Two , all week long. Highly recommended for fans of Neko Case or Jenny Lewis [...]
