Current Musical Obsession
I've been meaning to post about some music I've been obsessing over recently. It helps getting away from too much rock when you're stressed out. Even indie music can be a little too emo and depressing sometimes, so these girls were a nice refreshing way to clense my musical pallet whenever I needed some soothing music from girls who can really sing. Then, after I get enough of them, I can switch back to Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World and Incubus :DFirst is Corrine Bailey Rae. Some of you may already know her since she's been performing with John Legend. She's also been on the Grammy's but I didn't watch them this year, so I had to resort to Youtube. She is a soul/Jazz/ singer from the UK. Her music is a cross between John Legend, Norah Jones and John Mayer. All of which are musicians I love. If you like these three I gurantee you will like Corrine. Her music reminds me of my Borders/Coffee Bean phase. Her album is definitely worth buying. My favorite track is "Trouble Sleeping" She has that smooth raspy voice. Listen.
Next is a local favorite of mine (since I'm pretty isolated, you guys have probably heard of her too) Colbie Caillat. Her voice is reminiscient of Joss Stone, but her music is more mellow and simply calming. She was born in from VC! and a Malibu native :) Anyway, she also has a spectacular voice. She also looks a bit like Jennifer Aniston, but she's a natural blonde and a real home grown California girl by the beach. You will notice this in the feel of her music. Her album is also 100% buy. I love her single "Bubbly". Give it a listen. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. On the left is the cover of her album Coco released July 17, 2007.
Oh right my bad, Happy Halloween before it's over ^^. I didn't do anything Halloween related except for eating some candy. I did see some er, stripper looking freshmen and sophies on campus today. Some were dressed as vamps, crayons, er, hookers, strippers, and angles and bunnies. To think I go to a Catholic school >_>
