Music Friyay: Kaada, Richard Hawley, Hania Rani

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Kaada - Music for Moviebikers

This 2006 album is beautiful and atmospheric - perfect album to work to.

Richard Hawley - Coles Corner
Hawley knows how to make you cry, or feel like you’re going to cry, without even being sad. His 2005 record is truly understated, but memorable.

Hania Rani - F Major

Rani, an instrumental musician, released two new singles this year, and they are gorgeous. Her music makes you feel like you’re in a movie.
