I discovered Dami Im completely by accident a couple of weeks ago... and what a lovely accident that was. I was literally going through my Twitter feed and a random Buzzfeed article popped up [Top 40 Most Underrated Songs of 2014] and boy was I in for a big surprise in the form of this awesome Aussie pop star.
Safe to say, after I ran into Dami Im's song "Super Love" I spent a significant amount of hours watching videos of her (that's also when I found out that she was the grand winner of X Factor Australia's 2013 run). So all in all, I've literally been obsessing with this gal. She has such a smooth, and perfectly controlled voice... and let me tell you about her range, IT IS AMAZING. Also, I can't help but to find certain qualities of her tone and voice similar to Natasha Bedingfield (any thoughts? maybe it's just me... oh well). But anyway, this girl has got a lot of world class talent to offer. I'm really hoping she makes an amazing North American crossover, because people will definitely LOVE her.
Here's a few songs, both singles and X Factor Australia performances, that I've been replaying over and over the past few days.
I have been watching an unhealthy amount of Dami Im's performances on X Factor Australia, that I think I've seen every single one of them... BUT, Dami's version of Prince's "Purple Rain" is probably one of my favorites. This is so good that even Prince would like this.
Here's the video for Dami's "Super Love," which led to the rest of my discovery of this super cool Aussie. This song is so catchy, and wow what a HUGE chorus. Also, the video's really cute!
These last two videos are among some of Dami Im's acoustic renditions. The first is the acoustic version of "Super Love," and the second one is her cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene," which is just lovely.
Please check this girl out, and take a look at her songs. I promise you, she will not disappoint.
So there you go boys and girls! Happy listening and I hope you enjoy miss Dami Im as much as I do.
Frances, after watching Dami Im through XFactor Aus, and since I can only confirm the amazement that you felt at discovering her and her music. She is one of those rare singers who can capture your attention virtually immediately and draw you in to her performances - Dami is one of the few with a real "X Factor"! She is a qualified classical pianist (played since age 5) and a fully capable soprano vocalist, her mother was a professional classical opera singer in South Korea. Dami sings multiple genres inluding Classical, Gospel, Jazz, and now Pop - she can pretty much sing anything. Dami is a truely unique Pop singer and musician, and definitely one to watch from down-under! Be prepared to listen to some more awesome songs from Dami Im really soon now! :) Tony.
Dami has just released another acoustic song video for her song Moment Just Like This. If you would like to hear her angelic voice again, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHWVBgR2_ao
