Malaysia. We've got talent!

Discovered something today. This Malaysian girl who calls herself KokoKaina. Posted some clips of her playing her guitar and singing on YouTube and got signed by a record company in the US. She is GOOD! Sounds like Norah Jones + Corrine Bailey Rae. Real good.

And I really like her. And I like her even more for the fact that she doesn't feel the need to plaster her pretty 'lil face to sell her music. All that is shown is her hands, guitar and chin. That's real classy. People with real talent will always reach great heights on their talent alone. No need to become a wannabe pop princess. Well, at least you know your listeners are quality listeners, eh Koko? Anyway, if you EVER do happen to read this, KokoKaina, I think you're GREAT! Stay humble. And we look forward to seeing you succeed. :) Make us proud!



Now this, reaaaally got me in a crazy 'Moon River' mood. So beautiful. I always loved Moon River. One of the most beautiful songs EVER!
