I Cried All Night & Now It's Your Turn

Hannah Cohen. I love her but she appears to be nowhere. I don't mind keeping her my little secret, but at the same time it becomes quite sad when there are tour dates nowhere to be seen and no new videos or performances to be found over the last year.

That aside, I will take this moment to be grateful for encountering her at all. 

Cohen, who is in her late 20s and originates from California, is the epitome of everything I love vocally. Sweet, feminine sound but also completely sultry. 

"Don't Say" feels like the ultimate gentle approach to an indie break-up song. In fact, I have it on repeat (and I'm not even GOING through a break-up)

The simplicity and peculiarity of the video fits perfectly.

And if you want to check out how Cohen tackles a live performance, see the second video-- nothing short of lovely. 

Love at first listen ✓

'We Were Born Sick,' You Heard Them Say It

Well it has been a very long and unnecessary hiatus. That's the bad news. The good news is I've encountered some wonderful artists during our time apart and I think we can all be appreciative of that. Spring is in the air and whether it is outside at a music festival or on a your back patio under a blanket with a cup of tea, there is nothing better than the combination of good weather and good music. 

I just bought my ticket a few months ago to the sold out Sweet Life Festival and I can say with confidence that I will be in good company come May 10th. Obviously I was 100% sold on going after seeing the line-up. My eyes had barely glazed over Lana del Rey and Bastille before I was jumping for joy.

But one of the best parts about going to musical festivals? Finding new favorites! And so now I present to you - Hozier.

At only 24, Irish musician Andrew Hozier-Byrne is already tackling the indie music scene and doing so quite powerfully with politically charged songs like "Take Me To Church".

He has a bunch of good stuff, but "Someone New" (you know I love a good acoustic YouTube video) is an absolute favorite.

And I couldn't help myself, I had to post a third because his cover of "We Are Young" is just so darn good I could cry.

ENJOY
