I recently received The Birth of Cornelius CD by Corneille.
I'm surprised to say that I really enjoy this CD. It is very easy to listen to and quite relaxing. And modern (with references to iPods). Even better? I could listen to it with the kiddos around because there wasn't any cussing or swearing.
I would consider the sound a mixture of Lenny Kravitz and Marvin Gaye. Music you just listen to when you want to "chill." (Do people even still use that word?)
Corneille was born to Rwandan parents in Germany. Soon after his birth, he and his family moved back to Rwanda. His entire family was killed in Rwanda during the genocide in 1994. He was able to escape and eventually made it to some family friends. What an amazing story for such an amazing artist.
This CD is already available for purchase from Motown Records. But, you can win your very own copy right here!

I heart Lilly Allen. When Husby and I have kids, I’m hiding all traces of her and only indulging in an iPod.
And I’ve added a button.
Hope your weekend was great!
I love to listen to my son play the piano — oh, that is kid oriented, so I think I just cheated! LOL!
I follow the blog!
I listen to my ipod playlist which has various music…everything from country, to my favorite christian music, to workout music. If I’m in the car, I usually just turn it to 104.7 or 98.5.
I even buy plane tickets to come see you in real life!
And I follow you!
It’s Brittney B%t@h! What else would I listen to when kids aren’t around?
And if I don’t win the cd I am going to pay and download it on i-tunes!
And I have your button…I kinda want one of those…hint, hint:-)
And I sure wish I could be in your ‘my loves’ area. I guess if I ask it’s not the same.
I’m a follower
I listen to mostly country music so it’s pretty kid friendly (for the times I have my cousins or friend’s kids in the car). I will turn on the top hits radio station from time-to-time and there are mostly censored lyrics (but they are still quite graphic at times!)
I really like Panic at the Disco lately. Their last CD is fabulous.
