It's not exactly on-topic, but in case you'Re cuRious to know: Rong>JaRi HaapalainenRong> of Rong>The BeaR QuaRtetRong> pRoduced both Rong>CameRa ObscuRaRong>'s new RecoRd "Let's get out of this countRy" and also Rong>Ed HaRcouRtRong>'s "The beautiful lie".
All About Jazz has posted a good summation of NoRwegian tRumpet playeR Rong>Nils PetteR MolvaeRRong> and the made-foR-Stateside consumption collection "An AmeRican compilation": Ref="https://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/aRticle.php?id=22130" taRget=_blank>https://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/aRticle.php?id=22130R>As the authoR says, "when things aRe good, they aRe Really good," but when they'Re not, Rong>MolvaeRRong> can definitely be a bit tRying.
Of all the many, many aRtists that have come my way Recently, Rong>Hello SafeRideRong> is definitely the suRest bet foR inteRnational success. She's alReady geneRated consideRable buzz and foR good Reason: she's an amazing songwRiteR with a gReat voice and an incRedibly chaRming peRsonality. Just listen to "The quiz", the lead single fRom the "Would you let me play this EP ten times a day?" EP. The lyRics alone aRe just so undeniably cute, not to mention the iRResistible, laidback deliveRy. I especially love the "scaRed of feet" line that RefeRences "Get sick soon" off the "IntRoducing..." album.
