She may be from Austin, Texas, but Erin Ivey is making sweet folk pop reminiscent of two of our favorite Frenchies, Soko and Yael Naim.

Sweet is the perfect word to describe Ivey's song Chocolate. Like a cup of hot cocoa, the tune is so endearing and warm you wanna go back for seconds!

Enjoy the deliciousness below. Then CLICK HERE to check out some other tunes from Erin Ivey.

      If you enjoy Karaoke Night at your local bar down home this girl is GREAT. If you prefer to listen to women who can do more than carry a tune, this ain't yer girl. EEEE HA!!! Don't quit yer day job, sweet thing. Git yer ass back to Popeye's!!

      Hey Perez, just because one of your manbitches whispers in your ear that someone has talent that doesn't necessarily make it so. Come on man, BLOG some dirt instead of groveling .. it isn't becoming Perez, not becoming at all.

      People are crazy in the US. This guy named "Perez Fuckton" is making a lot of money in your back crazy readers. He is spending his life to write foolish things about others people in a blog full of banners and advertisement. And you people cant even guest what is all about. You are just loading and reloading pages and he's making thousand's of $ from banners advertisement. Perez your time is over, i ll stop you…ASSHOLE

      She totally ripped off that opening part from Pan's Labyrinth by Javier Navarrete. The whole beat seems to be inspired by that song but at a faster beat

      Why must all of these "new folk singers" you promote sound like women trying to sound like little girls?
      Man, does that bug the shit out of me.
      I'd like to know what that girl sounds like when she just opens up her mouth and sings, without putting on that schtick.

      Re: TPaul – Sounds like someone is jealous of Perez. We'd all love to make tons of money doing something as ridiculous as running a celebrity gossip website! P.S. - At least people in the US aren't stupid enough to use "Fuckton" as an insult. That is so very 3rd grade of you. Grow up.

      Yeah, you would go back for seconds wouldn't you, Perez? This is pretty boring. All these girls with guitars all sound the same. Yael Naim tries to sound like Feist. This girl tries to sound like anyone but herself. It's like the 60s all over again: you couldn't move for all the girls who fashioned themselves after Joni Mitchell, like Joan Baez and that goddamn Buffy Sainte Marie. yawn! So over that scene.

      HEY GUYS–I'm a student doing a research project on online blogs, and I wanted to get some responses from people who read and comment on these blogs, so if you're willing, bored, or anything else, please feel to lend a hand and answer these questions:

      1.how often do you visit this site?
      2.how often do you browse the celebrity stories? do you only look at individual stories or do you read all of them?
      3.how often do you comment on the stories? (always, almost never, daily, hourly??)
      4.if you are a regular visitor to the site, what brings you here continually?
      5. Do you visit other gossip sites or do you consider yourself a loyal Perez Hilton fan?
      6. Do you or have you ever gotten to know others who are also visitors to the site and its comment pages?

      THANKS…any answers are appreciated

      She gets the sympathy vote from me…not a lot of talk on here about the artist?! Maybe putting artists on your site will start will have a negative impact on their career and they would all say fuck I just got Perezed -> the begining of the end!

      Re: Monkeycox – Damn, Perez, you need to add a function to delete your own comments. I can't believe I fell for that. I didn't read the 50 other times that asshole posted that comment first, though. My bad.

      ya know…i know this girl personally. I am actually surprised to see her on your site. She is one of the most passionate, supportive people i have ever met. The first time i heard her voice, i was beside myself. She lights up a room with her energy.

      She is truly an artist and a gifted songwriter….and i am proud to call her a friend.

      propz for posting a blog about her!!

      You have ISSUES with Texas?? It seemed that you had a good time at the party during the SWSX (or whatever) festival. Since you saw only Austin, I highly encourage you to check out Dallas and Houston/Katy. Not all of us wear straw hats and ride horsies. If you're going to continue your snobbery about our beloved state, how bout you take a road trip to El Paso. OH, and don't miss far West Texas, as well as the scenery between Midland/Odessa and Juarez.

      The girl is wonderful, passionate, and fills a room with her voice, light, and presence.

      Weird how some folks (only one, given the speed and rant of the "posters," would slam such a great song. Erin's one of the most talented musicians I've ever heard (just heard her new EP — WOW!). One has to wonder at the motives of a few pathetic people who'd so cruelly tear someone down just to hear their own posts published.

      On the internet, EVERYONE knows who's an idiot.

      You rock, Erin!
