Canadian singer/songwriter Basia Bulat came on the face of it verboten of nowhere to become one of the most talked about new artists in both Canada and the United Kingdom with the release of her number one uncut album, Oh, My Darling, in 2007. Originally from Toronto, Bulat lives and writes in the quieter community of London, Ontario, where she recorded a self-released EP in 2005. Bulat's rich, expressive voice is the ideal fomite for her songs, which manage with love and life-time with a combination of unhappiness and wonder, and her melodies are bolstered by a band that incorporates strings and keyboards along with the traditional drums and guitar. In 2006, producer Howard Bilerman, c. H. Best known for his operate with the Arcade Fire, took Bulat and her band into the studio to disk her first full-length album; the upshot, Oh, My Darling, caught the ear of the honored U.K. label Rough Trade, which signed Bulat and released the disc in the springtime of 2007 ahead she had a deal in Canada or the United States. British reviews for Oh, My Darling were wildly enthusiastic, and a circuit of England and Europe impressed both critics and fans. Canadian main label Hardwood Records (home to famed singer/songwriter Hayden) signed Bulat in the summertime of 2007, with Oh, My Darling scheduled for release in the fall.
