Music: Lana Del Rey

7 Feb

Lana Del Rey (Elizabeth Grant, 1986) is a new singer that is definitely worth listening to if you are open to new music and style. The first time I heard her voice I thought she was an old woman with a very strong voice, but when I saw the video I realized she’s a very pretty lady that reminded me of the 70s style and how they used to look and dress. My first impression was “not so bad” , maybe I wasnt in the right mood to listen to such music, after a while it got into me and it kinda sticks in ur mind for a while!

I honestly tried to listen to other songs for her, couldn’t find anything better than “Born to Die”. The music is very strong, the video is very well done (technique wise) and well..she IS pretty :) However, when I heard her singing live I was kinda disappointed, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s making great music.

Enjoy the video and let me know what do you think and if you recommend other songs for her:

Event: That Al Salasil Storytelling

17 Jan

After the great success that the previous storytelling events had, That Al Salasil is back with another event for the kids to enjoy :D The whole idea is not really just about reading a story for the kids and that’s it! its more like the experience the kids get where the reader tries to enter into the child’s imagination and capture their attention in a very easy and fun way. The event will have reading, drawing and small puzzles. We definitely encourage these events as they are very few around Kuwait, so head down to the avenues this weekend and take your kids for a fun and interesting experience.

Oldies: Busta Rhymes

17 Dec

The other day I was listening to Chris Brown’s song Featuring Busta Rhymes and I remembered how cool Busta was back in the 90s. I remember he was a big hit back then and I really enjoyed a couple of his songs then. It’s bad that we don’t see any of his singles anymore, however him being featured in a lot of the new hits is cool by itself. He definitely has a talent when it comes to rapping and he’s just different with his style. A fact about Busta that you might not know is that he is Muslim.

Here are a couple of my favourite hits by Busta Rhymes, Enjoy :)
