kim jung mi

When trying to describe obscure artists to friends, especially when they hail from odd corners of the globe, you are almost inevitably boxed into the kind of comparison game that makes Erkin Koray the "Jimi Hendrix of Turkey" or Alemayehu Eshete the "James Brown of Ethiopia." Likewise is the fabulous Kim Jung Mi the "Francoise Hardy of Korea". But as this clip shows, she was quite a wide ranging singer. For some lite-pop sike type moves, a la Hardy, definitely check out her amazing "Now" record.
