For the Love of Music Part IV

{Kitten stumples in blog sleepily} Finals have kept me from getting a good nights sleep for about a week, unfortunately. Thankfully, three more and I'm free, well for three weeks anway!
Time for the last French artist I shall feature. The picture of the very beautiful woman to your left is Sheryfa Luna. She is a RnB and has a very soft, quite voice. I believe she has three albums out. Her first was title Sheryfa Luna, the second was Venus (accent on the e), and her third, which came out in 2010, is called Si tu me vois. My personal favorites from here are Il avait les mots, au revoir, je reviendrai, tu me manques, and her newest yemma.

She was born in France but her father was from Algeria. I was shocked to find out she is 21 { born January 25, 1989}! She looks so much more older and sophicated. Maybe it's her haircut but I figured her at around 25. Anyway, she started singing perosonally in when she was 18 after she won some talent show.   

Like most of the other French artist, it is not possible to find her on ITunes, so if interesting try Youtube or Amazon. {Why ITunes, you could make it so much easier on a lot of people if you would just add all the artist from all the stores so anyone could get any album}

This is the last French artist I'll write about but if there is anyone who is reading is interested there are several other artist who are very good also: Vitaa, Melisa, and Zina.

For the Love of Music Part III

Kitten jogs into blog rather quick to get out of the cold. You could freeze your tail off at there, with a high of 18F, it was a rather chilly day. On a good note however, my cold seems to have left {yay!!}

Ok, time for the third installment of my little thingy. Most of the artist I listen to, whether American or foriegn, are female. Not quite sure why but I guess I just prefer female singers, however, I do make exceptions. This pic, at your left, is one of my favorite french rap artist, Rimk. He happens to have the deep, rough voice that I am so found of and he has the bad boy air about him, another thing that I'm found of ;) The fact that I find him easy on the eyes one about 40% of the reason I like him. I can't really say I know a lot about him. He has several albums out and you can get him on ITune!

Rimk's full name is Abdelkrim Brahmi-Benalla and he is of Algerine desent. He is a member of 113 and Mafia K-1 Fry. 113 is French Hip Hop group and I'm not too certain what the other is exactly. He has four albums out. The 1st is titled L'Enfant du Pays, 2nd is Famille Nombreuse, and the third is Magherb United. My favorite songs from him are: Au dela apparences ( with Kenza Farah), Terrain Vague, and L'Espoir de Favelas.

For the Love of Music Part II

{Bonjour...cough...cough...} Kitten has a slight cold today but will hopefully be getting over it soon. These things always seem to come at the most inconvient times. I have my Chemistry Lab final at 2 and my throat is killing me and it last three hours {whimpers}.

My last post gave me an idea to make a few post about different artist that are outside the US. As mention in a few days ago, I'm rather bored and somewhat annoyed at the music my fellow country men and women are putting out so I have looked to new forign artist for inspiration. Today I shall talk about another great French RnB artist, Kenza Farah.

She has three albums out currently. Her newest one, Tresor{accent on the e} just came out in November. I like that she can sing the ballads but also do songs that are almost rap-ish. Variety is very important. I think her most well known songs are La Coeur de la Rue, Pardonnez-Moi, Me Bats, and Lettre du Front. My favorite songs are from her new album are Crack Music, La Ou Tu Va {accent over the a in la and over the u in ou}, and Karismastyle. I believe her first album was title Authentik, and the second was Avec la Couer. She isn't really known that well here in the States and like many French artist, Americans can only get her CD on Amazon. ITunes does not carry it, which is very annoying.

I have always been adverse to ordering online but in the past year have had no choice for some things. I have always been satisified with most of the things that I get. Well, all except for one book. The condition of it had been slightly exaggerated but it wasn't that big of a deal. Sometimes Amazon is out of the item, such was the case with both Kenza's Tresor and Jena Lee's Ma Reference. So I went to a private seller but have been happy with it so far. I think that seller that I used for Tresor was grooves_inc, which is a company out of Switzerland. It does take a little while for it to get to me but the CD was new and in good shape.

La Ou Tu Va

A Rather Mellow Day for Kitten

General

Kitten has decided to start blogging a little earlier. I've been waiting till closer to night-time and have been putting off ma francais, which is not the way to learn it:)

{Kitten yawns and streches her little back and legs. "So tired"} I really don't have that much to write today.

Let's see, my father is insisting that I take a medical terminology course. I know the reason why, but, come on, I'm an accouting major. I could be using that time to work on more important things.

James

I got a call and an email from James last night. He wants to see me. I'm so torn. This is over and I just wish he would let it go. He has several girlfriends, who are all more his taste. Our relationship just doesn't work and never will. He's the reason why Kitten got no sleep last night. I miss him. Would some one please hit me and tell to grow up? While I told my story of how we meet and what we did last summer, I never said why and how we ended it. Maybe later this week.

Readers

Kitten is surprised. She seems to have a few readers. Over the past few weeks I have recieved some very interesting emails and thanks for your interest. Well, welcome thanks for reading and feel free to email or comment. {Kitten rubs against visitors}

French

Getting back to my French homework, which is what I really should be doing, I'm rather running behind. Too many workbooks and not enough time{sighs} I wish there was actually a French class I could take but unfortunately there isn't. I have negelected my other blog, which happens to be in French. I will right a post in it tonight.
