Thinking about what I was going to post this week, I realized I still haven't posted a song from one of the most talented singer/songwriters around. Justin Nozuka has managed to stay under the radar but that actually pains me considering how talented he is. His voice, raspy and soulful and his unique music makes for a great artist. It also helps that he's Canadian. Just saying. If there was any artist I would push on someone, it's him. He is just that good. His writing is stellar and you can actually feel the pain in his voice when he sings. I'm not saying that's a good thing, you know, that he suffered, but an artist that can evoke a raw emotion just by their voice deserves a medal. It was really hard to choose just one song but I decided to go with one I listen to on the regular, featuring one of my favorite French artists (who is also Canadian), Zaho. In fact, this isn't the only version Nozuka recorded. He has one just his vocals and then one with the lovely India Arie. Check it out!
