La Vida Puede Ser Simple

Disclosure: Latinaish.com has partnered with Cricket Wireless as a 2014 Blog Ambassador. All opinions are my own.

Perhaps it’s a normal progression, but I find that as I’m getting older the “get the party started” type of songs just sound… loud. There are still days when that’s the sort of mood I’m in and those songs are appropriate, but more and more often I’m seeking quiet yet happy songs, and when I find an entire album that is suitably quiet yet happy, I get really excited.

On the unlimited music service called Muve Music, which I have with my Cricket Wireless plan, I’ve been fortunate to find some new music I may never otherwise have discovered, which includes my new favorite quiet yet happy album at the moment by a Colombian singer named Mónica Giraldo. If I had to describe her music, the vocal qualities are a mix of Shakira and Sarah McLaughlin, while the sound reminds me very much of quieter songs by Brazilian group Kid Abelha. Sound perfect? Check out Mónica Giraldo’s album, Todo Da Vueltas on Muve Music. Here’s my favorite song on the album, “La Vida Puede Ser Simple.” I really love the lyrics.

If you love it, you can check out her other albums on her website, including her newest, Que Venga la Vida.
