Lisa Ono & Chocolatchino

I love my bags and pretty dresses. But, music will always be my soul.

I take a really long time to decide on whether I want to purchase a bag or a wallet; the same goes for clothes. But, when it comes to buying music cds, I always seem to buy them after listening a sample.

Japanese - Brazilian singer, Lisa Ono, recently released two Bossanova CDs: Look to the rainbow and Cheek to cheek.

And they are really good.

The songs in Look to the rainbow have a quirky feel to it, whilst the songs in Cheek to cheek are more soothing and mainstream. For a sample of songs from either one of the CDs, visit Lisa Ono’s website at http://www.onolisa.com.

I don’t know why she released the songs in two separate albums, even though the songs were recorded during the same period and released with twin-like covers. Perhaps it is because there is a slight difference in the character of songs in the two albums.

To fully enjoy the music, listen to it on a rainy day, snuggle up in bed, read a book whilst drinking a cup of hot chocolate. Now, that’s art.
