get up, get up

This morning I woke myself up humming Sarah Slean's latest single "Set it Free" - that's how catchy it is. It may also be the leading contender for my theme song of 2011. 

I've been restlessly waiting for an album to grab me lately and her new double album Land & Sea fits the bill.  The first album is up-tempo "get up and take on the world" music and the second, inspired by old Hollywood scores and soundtracks, is sweeping strings and epic cinematic ballads.

Check it out! And then buy it!




P.S. I defy you to watch this video of Sarah and Joel Plaskett recording the opening track "Life" and not smile.  Love it.
