bryn listens : lauryn hill at amateur night

Posted: May 10th, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: music | 1 Comment »

Wow. Sweet little Lauryn Hill, age 13, singing at the Apollo’s Amateur Night. Doesn’t she look just the same! She had a lot going on for a little girl, but still a bit shakey on the vocals. So cool to see her unique sound and style at that age.

And now that I’ve spent forever in a YouTube spiral, here’s one beautiful song from her MTV Unplugged performance in 2002 to see her older, wiser self on stage.

Not sure why but I’m appreciating this old classic a bit more than usual this week. Hoagy Carmichael plays “Stardust.”

Bonnie’s still got it. “Take My Love With You” from her most recent album, Slipstream.

(Thanks to J. Kuhn for the tip on this!)

We got a taste of summer in the air this week. I feel like this is the song that started playing in the city’s head. Herr Styler‘s “Zero Ghosts Out The Door.” Fun sound. Warm fresh breeze.

Discovered this through KCRW, one of my favorite resources for new music. “Kamakumba”by Mop Mop, from the album Isles of Magic, which released this week.

Got loads’a work to get done today. This song by PHOX is helping. Especially the clarinet part.

Frank Ocean ain’t new news but this one, “Super Rich Kids” (featuring the smoothie Earl Sweatshirt) has been playing loud for me lately.
