Artist to Watch: Bedouin

As her name implies, Bedouin is a citizen of the world. With no country to her name, she found the inspiration for her latest musical efforts right here in LA. Collaborating with producer Jake Blanton (The Killers, Father John Misty) on her self-titled debut EP due out January 7, the anonymous songstress cultivated a tapestry of influences that meld into a hypnotic and soulful offering. Her voice is enchanting, her songwriting filled with whimsy and intrigue. There’s a thread of longing throughout the EP, almost a distant, far away dreamy-ness, that intones her gypsy nature. Stream "The City" here and catch her live tonight at The Standard in Hollywood. – Jacqueline Caruso
