I’ve been living in London for the past 3 months, so my ‘now’ is intimately related to this city, its bustling atmosphere. Music is really important in my life, I would even say omnipresent. I like the way music can arouse emotions and ease pain. I listen to a wide array of music, ranging from folk songs to cutting edge electronica. I enjoy experiencing the power of live music and listening to peaceful songs in my bedroom on a sunday afternoon. I set up my own blog one year ago because none of the existing blogs were talking about pop songs I like. I tried the best I can to liven it up with colourful graphics and beautiful pictures to illustrate the songs.

As I was wandering in the lively streets of Shoreditch, I grabbed an issue of The Fly magazine and one of the reviews caught my attention. It was about an up-and-coming singer called Laura Groves so I decided to give it a try and go straight to her myspace page. One of the song moved me deeply : Doubtful Conforts. It’s a relaxing song with a discreet glockenspiel background, a wistful melody, beautiful choirs and a haunting, angelic voice which reminds me of Joanna Newsom. As the song is playing, time seems to freeze and all our everyday problems are left behind. If you enjoyed this fleeting moment, you should as well take a look at this video I came across, in which she’s singing in front of a church with the same grace and enchantment.
