Blogger playlist: FRANCES D 'Happy because'

Frances is a blogger, who like myself - loves Da MUSIK.

I started listening to Marina and the diamonds because of her, 'Daisy dares you' was recommended on her blog and I was all like 'Daisy dares who?... I'm listening anyway'.

So, who better to compile the first blogger playlist on the CHH loves site?




This playlist isn’t all ‘down with love’, stop shaving your legs and embrace solitude for ever more.

You can do that though, I don’t forbid it.

It’s more like a celebration of self (ooh), some songs which make you feel just a little bit invincible. And as my aunt (who may or may not be an alcoholic, but no matter) always says "it doesn't matter if you're looking for someone, because there's someone looking for you". I think you're great.

You’re not going to like every single one of these songs, but you’ll find one or two or three or eight which work for you. If you like every single one, you’re my best friend.

Frances.

  4. I thought I recognised the voice on Bird and The Bee, its Inara George. She recorded and album with Van Dyke Parks who is a genius: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12586-an-invitation/
