Lately I’ve been perusing iTunes great music store and have been pleasantly surprised by some of the fantastic melodies and artists I have recently found. In addition to some of the newly discovered songs I have been listening to, I have also been taking the time to re-visit some of my favorite beloved songs.
Here’s a recent list of some of them:
Not only is she absolutely beautiful, her voice is full, rich, soft and just simply lovely! Interestingly, if you don’t already know, Carla Bruni is the First Lady of France and to name a couple of her past beaus she has dated Donald Trump and Eric Clapton. In the 90’s she was also one of the highest paid models earning approximately $7.5 million dollars!
I was stunned to discover that this talented actress was also an extraordinarily talented singer. She sings with passion and a hopeful beauty that is intoxicating and caresses the soul.
One of my favorites by her is called “Deep Water”.
…”Ice Age”…wow, what can I say about this one? Breathlessly beautiful, phenomenal, a piece of heaven at it’s finest. I’m guessing this song was made for the movie, but I am not certain since I never saw the movie. Nevertheless it is one of the most beautiful new songs I’ve heard in awhile.
You will want to fall in love with this one at, but unfortunately the YouTube version it is just not audibly good enough to leave a link, I just don’t want to ruin the song for you and if you are interested, I recommend clicking into iTunes store to get a sample. The short little sample clip was enough to make me fall, instantly.
This new artist was recently an unforgettable roommate on “The Real World’s Hollywood” cast. She began pursuing her singing aspirations on the show and to the complete surprise of everyone belted out beautiful ballads like “Summertime”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this song. One day, I picture myself singing this at an audition for “American Idol”.
And, lastly, this song is for all the eternal romantics!

A fine list, many people don’t realise what a talented singer Mini Driver is. Glad you mentioned her.
