Dilana - Lithium (high quality)

Dilana is a vocalist and guitarist who was born in South Africa and is now based in California USA.

Wikipedia notes that:

When the opportunity presented itself, Dilana dropped everything and started performing full time, from a traveling duo, to a mixture of bands in South Africa and The Netherlands. Moving to the Netherlands, she formed her own band, focusing more on original works and becoming one of the country’s highest paid live performers.^[1]

Recording her first album Wonderfool in 2000 led to four music videos, five singles and well over 200 gigs. She also sang the title tracks for two major motion pictures and performed in a festival in Belgium supporting Joe Cocker and Stuff, K's Choice and Heather Nova to a crowd of more than 100,000 people. Dilana also performed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, with Dutch performers.^[1]

But lost in the voting to Lukas Rossi. Afterwards, however she said that she was glad that she didn't win, because she didn't like the group's proposed original songs. Since then, she's released an album, Inside Out, but had some serious issues with the label that held up the release for two years.
