NOW LISTENING: YUNA

She makes what I call "makes me happy, makes me smile" music.  And seriously, no one else can rock or tie a headscarf like this chick right here. 25 years old and from Malaysia, she's been making music since 2008. I love the part about how she first picked up a guitar and started writing music while in law school (oh dem law school days). If you liked her older stuff you should like this as well, and if you don't know her, she makes for a very pleasant surprise. This is my kinda summer playlist.
