One of the things I love most is discovering new music and new artists. Sometimes it happens unexpectedly (that's when it feels even better) and sometimes you go looking in specific places, maybe browse for artists related to the ones you like and, bam, you get a new obsession. This has happened to me twice in the past two weeks.
I discovered Melody Gardot when I was watching the latest Grey's Anatomy episode. I heard a jazzy melody (see what I did there?) and soulful voice, googled around and voilà! I found her. It's just the kind of music I love, the kind of songs I'd listen to for hours and hours and I wouldn't get sick of them (and I've already done that). I bought one of her albums on Friday and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Now, for the second discovery: Madeleine Peyroux. My best friend first spoke to me about her, but I didn't pay that much attention and didn't give her the deserved interest. I was listening to the An Education soundtrack and there it was, her name on my iPod and I hadn't even noticed. I immediately googled around some more and there you go, Madeleine, you have one more crazy fan.
Why did I call this post interconnected musical discoveries? Because both Melody Gardot and Madeleine Peyroux are featured on the An Education Soundtrack. Life is funny sometimes.
Enjoy!
