I am so fortunate that at my job, I get a chance to listen to a ton of bands/groups from Europe and all over the world from a slew of different genres, such as Electro, Synthpop, Indie, Alternative etc. It has definitely broaden my musical palate since 2006 and I couldn’t be happier.

I absolutely love music, and I realize that’s a pretty vague statement and in a way everyone loves music; but I actually find music to be more than just something to listen to, it makes me feel happy, sad, upset .. its messes with my emotions in so many ways good and bad! I have a song (or album!) to correlate with every different type of situation. A great song to pump when I’m stressed with the troubles of life, when I’m having a great day at work (or bad), a girls night out or something to make me fall asleep.

Music has such great power and can help you get through some really tough times (and it’s cheaper than therapy!), one song in particular was “Whatcha think about that” by the Pussycat dolls, I listened to at least 4 times a day when I was going through a tough breakup lol and then “Winter song” by Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareillis when I was okay with the breakup and ready to move on.

Which brings me to The Bird and the Bee, they are a Synthpop/Indie/Alternative duo from LA, and have worked with an array of different artists. The Bird and the Bee has a new album called “Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates” in which they cover Hall & Oates classics!

Now whether you grew up listening to Hall & Oates or you don’t know who they are, the album is a must by .. a beautiful soothing voice on every track and it’s constantly on repeat in the car; definitely a must buy!

Here’s my favourite song on the album, Sara smile …Enjoy!
