Not wanting to open up the whole can of worms about who Nessa should/should not be compared to. And I'm sure this one has been done before, so apologies but....How do you compare her to Jewel and Michelle Branch, other than them all being female singer/songwriters. The style of music each makes is very different. Michelle Branch does pretty traditional rock music (with the odd exception), with Nessa, I don't know it's not just the use of the piano that's different, the drum rhythms aren't particularly tradtional I don't think. I may well be wrong here, but it's just what I think. I don't think she's much like anyone really, she's just Nessa.
