Days like today are perfect for this lovely lady - wrapped up in a woolly scarf and coat, I was not loving walking home in the cold, until Jose Vanders came up on my iPod shuffle. Literature Lovers was released in 2009 and it's still one of my favourite albums, I think her voice is gorgeous and her lyrics are brilliant & honest. I'm now following her on twitter, and I have to say she is hilarious! This tweet is my personal fave - "
Fuck it. I'll run the New York marathon instead, and bump into Jay-Z when I'm there, and he'll sign me, and I'll be the new Rihanna." Because it's exactly the kind of thing me and my sister would say. & her background picture is an incredible picture of Beyonce - I feel me and Jose would have a lot to talk about if we ever met (in my dreamland.) I read this Interview with her on J(am) Of The Day, and I have to say she is one really cool lady. Not only has she just done a degree on English Lit (more things for us to discuss!), her favourite Beyonce song is Countdown (SNAP). I think we're made for each other. As a piano player, I'd love to be able to sing & write songs, but for now I'll keep listening to Jose & her pals to inspire me :-)
Listen to!
And to sign off, a snippet of her lyrical loveliness - If I wrote down a hundred things That I thought that I could do, By the time that I was 67. Would there be another list of 99 things that I missed Just because I had a fear of failing?
