An Update & Amazing Music

by Carmen Cruz


It's been a while since I've written anything... I guess my 2 followers must have been devastated (Mom? Dad? Who am I kidding. My parents don't know how to use the internet).

I've been trying to settle into my new place, m new job, and my new life. I must admit, waking up at 4:30am has been kicking my a$$ (I looooove's me my beauty sleep!) but slowly... very slowly... I've been getting used to life in Calgary. The people here are SUPER friendly, but I must admit, the sushi here will never compare to Vancouver.

So without further ado, here's a list of a few tunes I'm into.


The Walkmen ~ We've been had. You might have heard a tiny sample of this song in a Saturn   commercial a couple of years back. It's such an amazing tune. Chill, but nice :)  (P.S: Brutal music video. Don't let it ruin the song for you).


Bebel Gilberto ~ Aganju. It's bossa nova at its finest. If you've never heard this type of music, or Bebel before, this will be the perfect introduction.




Broken Bells ~ Sailing To Nowhere. Half chilled out, half heavy. Listen to the tune and you'll see what I mean. This entire album is brilliant (self-titled).













Kyprios ~ Holding On. An AMAZING artist from Vancouver. His entire album (12:12) is a wicked mix of rap, r&b and indie sounds. This guy will be HUGE!!! Another cool tune is called November 11th. (**Sadly, I can't find any links for these tunes, but you can follow this link to Kyp's website**)





Citizen Cope ~ Sideways. A cool artist from the states. His tunes are mind blowing, but his on stage presence is only meh. I'm just being honest here. He's not a fan of encores or chatting with the audience, mind you, I may have just caught him on a bad day. Either way, check him out. (FYI: The version of the song I'm attaching is not the original version, but the one that features Carlos Santana on guitar. It just makes the song even more heartbreaking).

Enjoy!

Besos,
