In the coming weeks, we’ll present these songs in an attempt to lighten our collective hearts and make us happy.

Our first Happy Song is by up-and-coming Aussie/Kiwi artist Kimbra. I discovered Kimbra and her song “Cameo Lover” last week via the Bedlam of Beefy blog and was instantly hooked. “Cameo Lover” is a mix of captivating vocals, a sunny and bright track and intriguing lyrics. The video captures the effervescence of the song and Kimbra’s retro prettiness and quirky performance style is a breath of fresh air. “Cameo Lover” is a special song, and it heralds a bright new musical talent. I can’t wait to hear more from Kimbra.

“Cameo Lover” is definitely my happy song for the summer. What’s yours?
