The time is 2.07 p.m. Mind: Hazy. Mood: Blue.
I always feel like this after lunch breaks. Urghh..
Anyway, I stumbled upon an amazing singer/songwriter named Koko Kaina while randomly surfing some radio-deejays' blog and YouTube. So today's entry is going to be about this songbird.
At first glance, i thought she was Filipino or Mexican because of her name and tanned skin but when i further researched into the giant web and YouTube for more videos of her, i found out that she is actually Malaysian! OMGG...*jaw drops
Her style of music is very much to the liking of Jack Johnson, with a very jazzy feel to it. She is what i would call the "female" version of Jack Johnson? She's like Marie Digby and Norah Jones rolled up into one happy meal :)
Her music has got simple repetitive progressions (which i can't figure out because i suck at jazzy chord progressions) and a repetitive singing style as well but it's still unique..but what is most amazing about her is that this lady has been gifted with the ability to write good lyrics. Good rhyming lyrics with a genuine and pleasing melody to it. I truly envy her.. she's the embodiment of everything I want to be, in secret.. ;p
Pop jazz totally rocks. great music therapy for the soul too.
Highly recommended in large intake and daily dosages. =D
