Music mix!


Here are a few albums I've uploaded recently that I think are worth a few listens. :)

Music mix!Shiri Maimon is a talented Israeli singer. Her self-titled debut album is a solid pop/rock effort that features some lovely ballads amid the more uptempo tracks. My fave songs are 'Ahava Ktana,' 'Le'an Shelo Telchi,' and 'Otcha' - so keep an ear out for those if you check this album out!

This is a neat electronic folk album from Milla Jovovich, who is best known as a model and actress. As it turns out, she's talented in the music department too! The songs have a cool otherworldly feel without being silly, and Milla has an interesting voice. I hope she returns to music at some point!
