We're such a sucker for pretty songs, especially from female vocalists.

There's not much we need to say about Jaymay. Her music speaks for itself.

Her songs are uncomplicated, pretty, vulnerable and honest. Full of emotion.

"Folk" music is not a dirty word!

The Only One I Love is just one of those songs. Like Tracy Chapman's The Promise, it resonates.

Enjoy it below. Then CLICK HERE to listen to some other exquisite tunes from Jaymay!

      Cute song, but not an original or amazing one. The girl is lovely, she reminds me of Emily Dickinson.

      You know fatass- you are going to get in a lot of trouble one of these days for taking kickbacks from record companies or publicists or whoever to promote these absolute nobody talentless who-the-fuck-cares no hit wonders. It's so apparent that they pay you to promote these artist. Have you NO integrity??

      If you like this song then you should check out her other song "gray or blue". i have to agree that she's been around for a while but still; I'd rather see great singers like this on here than one's who aren't quite as talented.

    27. Harper says – reply to this


      27

      I've been listening to her for a while after I found her EP on itunes, about last year…i think.
      I love her, she's so talented!!

      Hey fatass, are you on the record company payroll now? Are they hyping you to their new priorities and giving you money to have them on your website? No, I'll bet they you in Big Macs don't they? It would explain your disgusting physique.

    35. gretchen says – reply to this


      35

      Sounds a lot like Edie Brickell. People should really come up with their own vocal style.

      How DARE you compare this girl to Tracy Chapman! Not even close. Go listen to "Talkin' About A Revolution" again, then beg someone to beat you back to your senses. Ugh….

      Hey Perez-Just wondering, have you ever heard Sara Barielles? She is totally awesome and I think you'd be a fan. Her album is called Little Voice.

      This is the kind of dung they use on mobile phone adverts here in UK.

      It's not pretty, vulnerable, honest full of emotion, it's shit. Sorry but this is just the same as any other wankface indy/folk crap being produced at the moment. All it needs is a Super 8 video of a librarian watching snails in a rcokpool and it'd be complete.

      She's actually a part of the NY anti-folk movement. So, folk might be a dirty word Perez. It's a mock of FOLK.

      HOW MUCH PAYOLA IS PEREZ GETTING FOR PUTTING THIS SHIT ON? HE SURE PUSHES ALOT OF SHITTY MUSIC AND ARTISTS WHILE TRASHING REAL TALENT. HE MUST BE GETTING ALOT OF CRACK FOR THAT.

      I knew this girl in high school– she was unkind. she was sort of ruthless–a gym hero if you will. is sort of funny for me to see her create this "delicate" music. maybe she's changed? oh well, good for her i guess.

Oh btw Perez…the song sucks, bored the piss out of me, yeah it's honest in the way that it honestly sucks…I'm thinking about another cookie…oink…:the way to my ass..

      I don't think I would classify her as folk, her voice sounds like many others…it does not stand out for me. Nice songs though. How about giving Eleni Mandell a plug perez? Check out her my space page.. I would think you would be plugging the heck out of her!

      Jaymay may slow this bubble gummy website's fanbase down. people might have to start 'feeling' when they listen rather than 'glo-stickin it' to the club beats. maybe if they listen to her they might actually turn off vh1 and want to take a walk outside. maybe. listen close enough and you might consider enjoying the traffic youre usually pissed in. or just go back to your lowdown lindsay lohan ways.
