I've been listening to lots and lots of JJ Heller lately. I identify with her style, so her songs are perfect for when I'm editing! I especially love the "Who You Are" video. It's so beautifully done, I love the message, and it inspires me to cook. (I need to watch this while I'm complaining about making dinner. ;) ) If you like this one, also check out "Until You Came Along" and "If You Fall." Happy Monday!
Creative Juices: I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Ben Rector
It's not easy to do a Whitney Houston cover ... right? I'm pretty sure we've established that via American Idol, The X Factor or one of the 48 other singing shows on TV right now. But Ben Rector? He does her justice. Maybe it's because he has such a different style than Whitney. I love the singer-songwriter vibe he brings to the song. Check it out:
Creative Juices: Old Pine by Ben Howard
I've been in a really mellow mood the last couple weeks. More than usual. Probably because busy photography season is picking up and I'm trying to slow everything down on the other end. Deep breath ... I've also been feeling really blessed lately. I always feel thankful, but these days it's apparent how incredibly lucky I am. I get to meet lots of unique, kind-hearted people who really appreciate what I do with my camera. That's a really cool thing!
The music I've been obsessing over lately exemplifies both of those things for me. And this song by Ben Howard is a perfect feel-good song for the beginning of the summer. I listen to it while I edit to get inspired.
Happy Friday, all!
