So I caught Russian Red at the MTV Asia session just last Saturday and was mesmerized by this talented lady's voice and beauty (major squealing happening right here). Her music makes me happy, well most of it. Even those with the sappy lyrics sound like they could give me a lift. Plus her rendition of all-time classic songs were just beyond amazing! Would definitely upload her cover of We Will Rock You when I have the time.
Russian Red is actually the stage name of Spanish indie and folk singer-songwriter, Lourdes Hernadez. Always had the impression that she was Russian but ironically, she wasn't. The name Russian Red came about because it was the name of the lipstick colour she always used.
Just thought I would share this video, courtesy of a friend of mine, Rachel who showed me this video and more or less introduced me to Russian Red. It's a pity I missed her when she came for Mosaic last year (I'm always a laggard at some point) but well, good music will always remain good!
Check her out singing The Sun The Trees live in Taiwan! I think I'm in love again...
Hope this made your week. I'm off for another bout of hiatus. I think.
Good day!
