Musical Magic: Adele - Someone Like You

This sent shivers through my whole body, I hope it brings a smile or mends a broken heart...

Musical Magic: Mumford&Sons

I discovered that this band even exists a few days ago and I honestly love every song they have ever sung. Their influences include some of my other favourites: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, as well as Kings of Leon and I just find their music to be such a breath of fresh air and sincerely beautiful. They write inspiring songs whisch one can identify with... Here is the music video of Winter Winds, but do yourself a favour, check out their website and listen to their other songs (especially Awake my Soul, After the Storm and Little Lion Man).

The band consists of Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), "Country" Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, dobro), and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar). The band formed in October 2007, rising out of what some in the media labelled the "West London folk scene."



Musical Magic: Find Love by NLX

I heard this song on the Brothers and Sisters episode Righteous Kiss the other night and fell in love with it. Ironically, it is called Find Love and is performed by spectacular band, NLX. It is from their album, Bitch Get Fit.

The song is just purely inspirational and I especially adore the piano sequences (it reminds of of the type of melodies I like to compose.)

Enjoy!

Musical Magic: Kate Nash

You've probably guessed that I'm an indie/folk/rock girl when it comes to music. I love all types of music (sometimes I can't get enough of Beethoven), but I' always find myself drawn to the original, the wacky and uniquely beautiful. This singer encompasses these traits: her music tells of crazy adventures, useless love affairs and even imaginary friends (listen to Skeleton Song for that one.) She's different and that's why she's excellent. Her website: http://www.katenash.co.uk/ displays the personality of her music in visual form.

Her album art reminds of the typical 60's and 70's LP artwork:

Made of Bricks                     My Best Friend is You

Musical Magic: Farryl Purkiss

This South African artist, who has taken the world by storm (he reached the top of the French charts, has perfomed extensively in the USA and has even had his songs feature on Private Practice) is, to me, a mixture of Neil Young, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. Not only are his songs unique, well-written and refreshing, but his guitar skills prove how incredibly talented he truly is.

Check out his website http://www.farrylpurkiss.co.za/ and make sure to listen to Times Like These and Better Days.

Musical Magic: Van Rissegham

What's better than a beautiful, mellow song on a mellow Friday. I accidentally discovered this artist from Oklahoma and fell in love with not only the sound (a Jason Mraz quality with a unique voice), but the music video itself is pure art. Enjoy!
