The Music of Corneille

I had a chance to listen to a new CD a few weeks ago so I could tell you about this new artist, Corneille: And his CD--ahem, "album", The Birth of Cornelius.

I have to confess that I'm not a music-know-it-all. OK, I'm a music-know-nothing-at-all. I judge music based on one criteria-- do I like how this sounds? So when I read that Corneille's CD is "
smooth soul and acoustic-based R&B pop", I couldn't really explain to you what that means.

My take on it?
I would call it "easy on the ears". Hubs and I popped it in while riding in the car one day and it was great background music. It's not fast-paced at all (fast paced music usually makes this mom feel frantic!) and his songs tell stories, which I like my music to do. He's very passionate and has a very nice-sounding voice.

Hubby's more into the whos and whats of music than me and he says, "I really like it. It is a good easy listening album, and the words have a lot of meaning."

Alright, he didn't sound that much smarter than me, did he? Here I thought he was gonna share something oddly profound about this CD, The Birth of Cornelius!

Anyhow, we like it.

Exciting News! I have an autographed copy of Corneille's new CD,
The Birth of Cornelius, for one of you! Just leave me a comment and tell me what kind of music you like to listen to. I will choose a winner on Tuesday March 31!

I mostly listen to Country...Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood are my faves! Jon and I both enjoy Shane and Shane...and Ava likes to jam with Mommy to Hannah Montana...in the car she says "other Tana Mommy, loud please!" The "other Tana" is what she calls Best of Both Worlds!
