i'm a pop music junkie. gimme a pretty voice, a catchy tune, a solid head-nodding beat + i'm hooked: the song is on nonstop repeat on my player. i admit it: my taste is completely commercial; i am the scorn of hipsters everywhere.
today's track of the day has been on heavy rotation on the local bilingual spanish pop station (la kalle 101.3). i think it got big thanks to a telenovela (a spanish language soap opera); the music video alone provides everything you need for a satisfying soapy story arc. the song is performed in spanish, but you don't need to understand the lyrics to appreciate the melody + to get that it's a sad song (how is it that words are not necessary to understanding the emotions of a song? melody is so mindblowingly powerful). here's the mexican brother-sister duo, jesse y joy (i have no idea which is which), performing "Corre".
