Artist Review: Tina Dico

I first became aware of this Danish artist’s vocal presence on a release by Zero 7, which we listened to quite often during the conception of my two daughters Milan Shiloh and Paloma Belle.
 
Tina Dico is truly a superstar in the making – just wait and see. I did have the good fortune to catch her solo set at the World Café Live in downtown Philadelphia, however with locals carrying on kibbitzing, finishing their dinners, dishes crashing and silverware being dropped, the attendees paid her no mind. I felt bad for her, she later remarked to a good friend who met her backstage in Germany some derogatory remark about the Philadelphia audience and rightfully so as I was there. She was solo acoustic and spot on perfect.
 
It may take her a little longer in the U.S. to garner the base she deserves as she is not 13 years old or a disney candidate but she’ll get here. Her talent is undeniable. Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing. Her guitar skills are far beyond. Her songs are authentic, reasonably heartfelt and genuine. I am drinking her kool aid and its tasty…and did I mention she is beautiful! Get on her train now and remember you ‘discovered’ her in the Rough and Tumble Daily Hum.
 
Selected listening: ‘Use Me’, ‘One’, ‘Room With A View’, ‘Back Where We Started’, ‘The City, ‘Break of Day’
 
Trust in the Hum!
