Lianne La Havas- No Room for Doubt
if i saw her give me a come hither look from the other side of a raging river, i’m pretty sure i’d suddenly find i could walk on water.

Los Zafiros- He Venido
i think i’m growing more fond of this type of music. it hasn’t always been my cup of tea. now, i get a sense of nostalgia that i shouldn’t feel when i listen to it seeing that i wasn’t alive during the doo-wop period. it’s nice. i’m probably less than two years away from buying the doo-wop box-sets from pbs.

Tori Amos- A Sorta Fairytale
i had a really hard time thinking of something to post today. and now that i’ve chosen, it’s pretty clear at this point, i have little to say about it. oops! enjoy.

last year i talked about how valentine’s is a day to celebrate different types of love and the many forms it can take. this year, it’s more about romantic love, but, in keeping with the theme, the songs featured below cover the gamut: from “you know i luh you!,” to “girl, i wanna hit them skins,” to “please don’t go away from meeeeeeeeee!” (*wanye head-shake*) but, you know, there are many people out there who just think it’s monday. if that’s you, just scroll down to the bottom. see? a little something for everyone. click the links below and enjoy.

Nina Simone- I Put a Spell on You
It’s undeniable that Nina Simone breathed new life into her now more famous version of this classic. Her voice is soultry, haunting, a little bit naughty, and you can’t help but to be hypnotized.

India.Arie- Ready for Love
i’ve had this song on deck for a long time. it’s a great love song. if you’re still looking for love, hold on! there are billions of people out there. that isn’t really all that inspiring, but i’m trying to be optimistic. enjoy.
