Listen To This: The Way To Our Heart
Filed under: Listen To This
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!

THAT IS REALLY NICE. GLAD TO HEAR PEOPLE WITH TALENT. PEREZ, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START SHOWCASING UNSIGNED TALENT? WE NEED YOU.
MYSPACE.COM/SILVERSIDEBAND
its ok, id do her though
Jaymay is old news, fagalicious.
So good!
A MONKEY COULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT SHIT.
stupid!!!!!
10th
Hmm… It's a nice song!
so sooothing and calming
snaps for jaymay
yawn
I love it
Cute song, but not an original or amazing one. The girl is lovely, she reminds me of Emily Dickinson.
I love Jaymay! "Grey or Blue" is a beautiful song.
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??
Me likey
Also- all you loser fucks who insist on saying "FIRST" when you usually are NOT are so pathetic you should kill yourselves.
her voice is beautiful. and its nice to hear about someone who can actually sing and write music she is like a female gordon lightfoot. kudos!
something about her make me want to give her a cookie
Comparing this chick to Tracy Chapman is ridiculous. Blasphemer!!!
the song is really cute.. romantic.. she did good
she sounds pretty good. I'm gonna put her on yeoq. for sure
www.yeoq.com
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.
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!!
Swell, just what the world needs, another sensitive-singer-songwriter-three chord idiot. Stop encouraging these twits.
Absolutely wonderful, a new favourite x
OMG, I knew the day would come when they'd do another "Carrie" re-make.
why's this girl look like one of the people from The Village? SCAREY
HOW DO WE SAY THIS DELICATELY?
YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC SUCKS!!
Sounds like a shitty demo tape.
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.
Sounds a lot like Edie Brickell. People should really come up with their own vocal style.
Cannot BELIEVE you compared that song to THE PROMISE….take it back!
pretty…but why would folk even be considered a dirty word in the first place?
This sucks.
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….
Come on people! Can't you try and be a little kinder? Sweet, sweet song. And lovely voice.
she LOOKS like a snooze fest. i could imagine wut the song sounds like.
i agree wit number thirty three.
oh my god im in love, its so exactly perfect. her voice is ON POINT.
JAYMAY ROCKS!!!!
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.
I liked the Linda Lopez song but this one is whoreaneus….
if you like this kind of music, you should check out Devon Sproule. www.devonsproule.com
the popfolk stuff is getting more and more interesting…
:)
i've been listening to her for about a year.
Is it just me or does she sound like Fiona Apple? Just a little?
Pretty song, in any case.
i love it
i heart Jaymay! Im so happy she got to be featured on your blog!!!! My fav song is "Grey or Blue", a pure gem!
Jaymay is AWESOME!
Great suggestion..keep em coming.
Perez, you without a doubt are my new music guru!
that was beautiful..thank you for posting
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.
She has a lazy eye. And looks like a lollipop…
I liked her music,very mellow. She's a sweet looking kid .Why the hell do assholes have to start about her looks.. because why? Not up to their standards?? Givme a freaken break! Look in the mirror …
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.
wtf perez, how come no love for Brandi Carlile? Good female vocalist and I think you would love that she is "gay, gay, gay"
Not really into folk, but loved it! It was mellow and sweet, one of your best picks thus far.
borring
I love her music!
I think you would also like:
Feist, Tristan Prettyman, Serena Ryder, Neko Case, and Regina Spektor…
Let me know what you think!
I think it's beautiful it's sweet and kind and it makes me feel glad.
I really like this, it's different. I like her voice, I'd listen to it. Any other suggestions?
loves it!
thanks perezito
Yep, I'm loving that!!!
Love this! Sweet with a kind of haunting sound. Lots of contrasts. Thanks for always turning us onto new music, Perez.
boring, and the girl looks like she's twelve.
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.
I can write much better songs! www.myspace.com/monicaott.

I like, I like.
I doubt Perez or whomever helps him reads these comments, but if he likes girls who sings pretty songs, he should check out ReoRae on YouTube… great voice.
Where can I buy this song? I tried Itunes but no such luck…
I wen to myspace and it was there so I added it to my page..
its so pretty
Wanna hear a kick ass rock band out of POrtland, ME
www.myspace.com/lostonliftoff
She's alright, but Missy Higgins is better
"Resonates"…that's a big word for this site…did you pay some the $0.50 to come up with that?
Very pretty…both the song, and her.
Nice,clear singing. Unusual name spelling.Relaxing guitar music.
Wow Lali! I can't believe it…I just got done scarfing down 8 late night chocolate chippers and then I saw this bird and thought "now this girl, she would never be the type to eat 8 chocolate chip cookies, look at that pencil neck" and then I happened upon your post…pretty cool eh? 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..
very interesting
I have never heard about her before, and now I think I am gonna want to hear more from her.
I love this song, its very relaxing and not noise.
2 Kudos for Jaymay — that name has a real ring to it.
sounds like EDIE BRICKEL, I miss EDIE! bring her back
Saw Jaymay live about a year ago. Performance was good, she is funny. I have loved that song for a couple years now. Awesome stuff.
sounds like an edie brickel toon. I LOVE EDIE
thanks for that perez. i loved it
Song is not bad. can cruise on the shoreline listening to this. Never heard of her before this
Yawn!
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!
DANG PEREZ U SURE KNOW HOW TO PIC'EM! I LOVE IT! PEEPS DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE SONGS WITH MEANING ANY MORE!
its boring….like her face.
She is absolutely amazingly wonderful!!! Thank you for introducing me to a new artist that I could listen to over and over again!!!!
pretty good stuff
Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love, Youre the only one I love….Lalalala. Not very inventive. Got bored after a while. So not original!!!!!!
The song is gorgeous and shimmering. Its so pretty- I have an idea what Jamay smells like now.

TRACY CHAPMAN is one of the best songwriters ever! EVER!!!!! EVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Don't you dare comparing her to this uninspired and boring lightweight again!!! EVER!!!!! EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
god, this shit sux. you deserve to suck a fart out of my ass for making me listen to this shit.
Better than the other crap you post, but still, you no music or fashion expert, so what exactly is your forté ?
That camera is a Holga.
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.
