What an amazing young lady. I just saw her recently and talked to her at the merch table and she was such a sweetheart, too. It's incredible that such a powerful voice can come out of a girl that small. I want to pick her up and spin her around, but I'm also kind of afraid of her.
Comparing her to either Ella or Janis is comparing apples and oranges, but for the life of me, I can't think of who she does sound like. What other singer has that combination of blues, folk and sophistication (and maybe a dash of punk)? But whoever she sounds like, she's great!
I complain to her about that, too! gotta be able to listen to it whenever I want. Check out Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers on myspace. that's your best bet.
i read about this in Hindustan times. shilpa may be a good vocalist (comparison to Janis is a bit too much) but the music isn't as appealing. overall, it didn't match expectations set by Sanjoy.
I don't know what planet you're from if you dont recognize this insane talent. This is rock n roll-- guess thats not your thing and that's ok but Shilpa fucking rocks MY world
I wish I knew, so badly. Her music and voice (incl. this song) kill me every time. So, if anyone knows the answers to the question I'm responding to, please let us know :)
you keep up, whoa! I didn't realize anyone knew that "Beat The Devil" broke up. I absolutely love Shilpa Ray, and cannot wait to see her new band perform in Brooklyn this Saturday.
No hipster status needed for this talented lady. Honesty and talent stands on its own.

i spoke to shilpa after this show and asked her for the name of the song....she said she wasn't sure and checked her set list =)
i think she said it was Idiot's Creed....as for where to find it, i wish i knew. I'm dying to have it on my ipod!

Her myspace page says the song is called The Coward Cracked The Dawn. She & The Happy Hookers are recording now, can't wait to hear it.

Awesome. Only Beat the Devil has split, so now it's Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers.
