Wassssup?! This week on TJ is another solo jam by none other than Don Omar! DANZA KUDUROOOO! ft. Lucenzo. You've probably (most likely in all honesty) heard this song from the movie Fast Five. Oh yeeea. I was wondering what to pick for this week and then I remembered this song and how much I like it. It's totes up beat and makes you wanna get up and dance. And... well who doesn't love Fast and the Furious?

Enjoy :)

This week on Tuesday Jams I'll be featuring Maisey Rika!

Maori singer/songwriter Maisey Rika, has one of Aotearoa's (New Zealand's) most impressive lead vocal style, fused with her honest and thought invoking messages.

Some have described her sound similar to Tracey Chapman or Sade, with a splash of India Arie. Her spine tingling vocals and fusion of English and Maori (Te Reo) lyrics is capturing the hearts of soul seekers both in New Zealand and abroad.

Maisey and guitarist J.J, have worked to create an original melodic experience backed with strong eclectic messages. A mix of folk, acoustic, soul and easy listening, their musical palette is vibrant with elements of roots and deep culture.

Since the early age of 13, Maisey began singing on stage and in the studio at a professional level. Maisey's first recordings brought her to stardom with "E Hine", a classic collection of Maori traditional songs. "E Hine" went double platinum and also won "Best Maori Language Album" at the New Zealand Music Awards. Maisey was nominated for "Best Female Vocalist" in 1998 at just 15 years old also. [taken from website.]

I first heard of Maisey about 5-6 years ago when my sister came to me with new music to listen to. And amongst this list of artists and songs was Maisey Rika's Childen of Romania (see video below) After hearing this song I was immediately taken with Maisey and her amazing voice! She also did covers for Iron & Wine's Flightless Bird American Mouth as well as Robert Pattinson's Never Think.

The reason I chose Maisey Rika this week, is because Kimberly @ Turning The Pages chose covers by Jasmine (view her post here) and I said that I wold post Maisey Rika this week to show off how similar I think they are. If not their tones, their voices. Just a bit tho. They are incredibly different, but still awesome nonetheless.

Well, that's my pick for this week. Enjoy :)

This week on TJ is none other than Lana Del Rey! Haven't heard of her?! Good! Now I've introduced you to someone who is amazing! Her voice... whew. Now, to say I've never heard of Lana Del Rey would be pushing it. I've heard of her but haven't really "listened" to any of her music. That is, until Aaron (a friend of mine) linked me one of her songs while I was streaming. And that song is Young and Beautiful. If you haven't heard of it, listen to it now! Like... it's... so good. hehe. Young and Beautiful is one of my favorite songs by her :) Another song that I like is National Anthem. And here is the video for that song. It's a little over 7 minutes, but definitely worth the watch :) I kinda wish they'd make it into a movie heh.

Okay, so last week Sharonda & I had a little "battle" so to say. She thinks she won last week, but I think I had her beat. Now, I'm bringing out another favorite of mine. Better be ready, Sharonda ♥

ooooh. The Weeknd. ♥♥♥ It's about that time I finally, FINALLY, feature this guy on my blog ^_^ I absolutely love his music and I've just about fell head over heels for his voice. hehe. The lyrics are something else! but I love em. I was first introduced to The Weeknd by my very crazy, erratic friend Evi who has an obsession, yes I said it obsession, with this guy. And she's passed that obsession on down to me! 

A few fave songs by him that I like are:  Pretty, Gone, XO/The Host, Drunk In Love (remix) 

And because the Drunk In Love remix isn't on Spotify (not that I could find) I've attached a youtube video here :)

This week on TJ we're spotlighting AALIYAH! Absolutely love her and her music. Taken from this world at such a young age (22) I was only 11 when she died, but during her brief time here she def had me with her music! LURVE! I picked Aaliyah this week because (and big laughs here) I was playing League of Legends and one of the champions dance on League is to the choreo on Aaliyah's music video: Are You That Somebody. And since then I've dubbed Quinn's (champion on League) Best dance NA (North America) lols. Real talk though. Quinn's dance is so OP (over powered)! And now I will show you the video of the Quinn's dance :)


Yeeeah! How awesome are the Riot workers for paying tribute to Aaliyah? FUCKING BADASS!
