If you’re looking for music to make your woman swoon, look no further than crooner Dave Barnes‘ latest EP, You, the Night & Candlelight. I have been hooked on Dave’s heart-melting voice since I heard my other fave Dave song, “On a Night Like This.”
The Track of the Week, “Loving You, Loving Me” is a knee-weakening lighthearted love song. In fact, just do yourself a favor and download his entire EP. Enjoy here and let me know if you agree.
This week’s Track comes from She & Him, a match made in heaven for indie music lovers. She & Him consists of the actress Zooey Deschanel, who you may recognize from movies like Almost Famous and Yes Man, and the singer/songwriter M. Ward.
“I Can Hear Music” is a remake of the Beach Boys classic and comes from their upcoming album to be released on March 23, 2010. Their music is best described in their own words from their website, “She & Him make music for an eternal springtime, when the temperature is warm enough to go riding with the top (or at least the windows) rolled down and the radio turned up.” You will not be able to resist their ethereal, groovy-60’s vibes. Listen to the track here and give me your feedback.
One of my fave artists, Brandi Carlile, sings this week’s Track, “Way To You.” My first exposure to Brandi was in a Starbucks. I had to ask who was singing after I heard her voice streaming through the speakers. Brandi is a true musician, and her music is first rate. I LOVE this woman’s voice.
Brandi released an EP, XOBC just before Valentine’s Day with “Way To You” on the track list. The harmonies are gorgeous and she is at her best, close to her country roots. This track is not available on Rhapsody, so you can preview on iTunes here. Love it, love it…
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope yours was spent with someone really special.
Since love is in the air today, I wanted to share my current top five list of dreamy love songs. These songs make me melt every time I listen. They make me want to reach out and take my husband’s hand because they remind me of him.
If you have a favorite song, post it in the comments section. I hope these songs provide the perfect Valentine’s Day soundtrack.
Melanie Fiona…need I say more? If you have not listened to this Canadian artist’s breakout album, The Bridge, you are missing out. The album is truly a soulful, vintage bridge between different genres and all types of people. Her song “It Kills Me” was recently up for a Grammy award nomination.
The Track of the Week “Ay Yo” is my favorite from the album. If you need a lift, turn the volume up, roll the windows down, and you will instantly feel better. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy a listen here.
