I had the chance to chat with the talented Brit rocker about her favourite birthday activities, the conundrum female artists face, being authentic on Instagram and offering her demos to her fans exclusively on cassette.
Check out Jade Bird belting ‘Uh Huh’ in the back of theCFOX O’Neil Mobile before her recent show in Vancouver. Brought to you by your BC Ram Dealers.
Enjoy!

Ummmm…. so THIS HAPPENED!!!
I had the chance to chat with Cheech Marin about which rock stars he likes to smoke up with, which superpower he’d like to have, and his requirements when accepting weed from fans.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to puff, puff, pass.

Hola Amigos!
I had the chance to chat with Canadian comedian Howie Mandel about his upcoming comedy show 'Howie Mandel And Friends' at the Just For Laughs NorthWest Comedy Festival.
We also discussed who he would give the 'Golden Buzzer' to, if 'Bobby's World' will ever make a comeback, and he answers the question "Doobie or No Doobie???"
Enjoy!

1) CNCO - Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos)
So this is one of the pop-bubblegum bands that was formed by winning a Latin American singing competitions called 'La Banda' (created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin).
What can I say? It's a catchy song.
2) Maluma - Sin Contrato
Yeah, another Maluma song. It's just that...
3) Shakira - Chantaje (Official video) ft. Maluma
Shakira + Maluma = MUY Caliente.
Side Note: I feel as though Shakira is meant to be enjoyed in Spanish. Then again, I'm a bit biased.
Enjoy!!!!

1) Ricky Martin ft. Maluma - Vente Pa' Ca
During my recent trip to Chile, this song was considered the unofficial 'song of the summer.' You heard it eeeeeverywhere. Oh! and P.S: Ricky's BAAAAAAACK!
2) Maluma - Felices Los 4
Maluma is a Colombian singer who is *IT* in South America. He was performing at a music festival in the city I was staying at (Viña Del Mar) and the city was in complete PANDEMONIUM. Girls, teens, women (and men!) screaming, crying, singing, chanting his name, and stalking/chasing him down. He's like Justin Bieber, but a MILLION times cooler (sorry Biebs!).
3) Luis Enrique - Yo No Se Mañana
A great love song (kind of) that I highly recommend you google the lyrics to. We've all been there.
Enjoy!

Monday can always use more spice, so why not make things a little more caliente with a new weekly Latin American music feature?!?!
Here are some of my favourite Latin tunes at the moment.
1) Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito ~ This song is everywhere and everything right now.
2) Shakira - Me Enamoré ~ An adorable song she wrote about her baby daddy, Gerard Piqué (professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona and Spain's national team).
3) Romeo Santos - Propuesta Indecente ~ In Chile, when something is labeled as being 'cheesy' we call it 'cebolla' (pronounced: seh-bo-ya), which literally translates to 'onion'. This song is just the right amount of cebolla.
Enjoy!

It's called Notorious Jazz, and yes, it's NSFW.
Might I suggest you slip on some headphones/earbuds for this one???
FYI: You can download the album for free (or by donation!).
Enjoy!

The Local Natives are one of those amazing bands that for some reason, always seem to fly just under the radar. If you have a sec, check out their music. It's all top notch stuff.
ZAYN - Whether he comes from a cheesy boy band or not, the guy can sing... REALLY well. This song has embedded itself into my brain and I'm OK with that.
Alternatively, here's a solid remix of this tune (which is available as a free download). Heck yeah.
Enjoy!

*Incredibly Sad Face*
Our hopes for an amazing BC summer music festival now rests squarely on the shoulders of the Pemberton Music Festival.
No pressure.
