Solved: What I am, What I Know

"What I am, What I Know" is a line in a song - sung, I think, by a black female singer. Her voice is smokey/sultry in a Duffy/Eartha Kitt/The Noisettes kind of way ..... ?????
It may be a track on the latest 'Sweet & Sweat' 6 CD set ..... ?????
Does anyone know what the song is and who the singer is?

The only Sweet & Sweat CD set I can find for 2010 is a 2 CD Set....

This is the track listing if this helps :

Belleruche and Gin Wigmore have that kinda voice, but not those lyrics

Hi. Thanks for your interest.
The whole Sweet & Sweat series is particularily difficult to search ... and I get differing results each time ... most of them as you say are 2 CD sets .... and many of them show different track listings ....
i.e.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Sweet...elease/1973375
http://lassoft.com/music/13244-sweet...ulos-2010.html
http://www.music-bazaar.com/main.php...album&id=17500
http://welovemusic.over-blog.com/art...-40031468.html

The ad on TV that I've seen here in Greece states that the Sweet & Sweat edition I'm looking at is a 6 CD set ....
.... and this link
'http://mp3bear.com/?q=sweet+and+sweat+3+petros+kostopoulos'
should in theory be the right one as it's the only 6 CD set showing, but I don't see anything likely on the track listing ....

... but maybe the ad is misleading cos it plays several clips of songs - two of which I was keen to track down - and I've now dentified one of them as "Never Forget You" by The Noisettes, which doesn't appear on ANY of the track listings ....
.... so maybe it's not on any of the "Sweet & Sweats'" at all ..... ????

Hmmmm ...... !!

The Noisettes appear on this one:

Just by the lyrics, it could be Stefanie Heinzmann's cover version of "the unforgiven". She's not black but you said you weren't sure of that anyway, so give it a try...

I think Albruna has hit the nail on the head there!

Only one which comes to mind is by Edie Brickell. Though white, she sounds a bit of color or however one might choose to phrase this rather delicate point I'm trying to make. Kind of Bohemian like sound. Has your lyrics too.

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah


Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are and

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Yes I think Albruna has got it

The lyrics in this track are 'what i've felt, what I've known'. Very similar.

Yes!!

Stefanie Heinzmann 's cover version of "The Unforgiven" it is!

Never heard of her before - she's pretty damn good tho'.

Thank you all so much.
