Sometimes Valentine’s Day is not just hearts and flowers. It can be a reminder that romantic love is sometimes elusive. But what’s love without love songs? Sometimes the saddest songs open our hearts. So whether you are happy, sad, or just like to listen to cool music, join me on Women’s Voices this Valentine’s Day, streaming live on KZYX at 7:00 PM PST for a hot night of love songs. From pop to electronica to country and classic jazz, we’ll listen to some groovy girl singers.
I discovered Duffy when I watched An Education (nice little film, by the way), and that led to an exploration of a few singers in the pop genre whom I may not have discovered otherwise. I love Corinne Bailey Rae’s sweet voice, and the contrast to Duffy’s rough edged sound. I snuck in some Nina Simone, Lucinda Williams, and we’ll finish the night with Adele. The Grammy’s are in the news lately, and it’s fun to listen to modern young singers along with some other favorites. Let’s mix it up this Monday night.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
