K'Naan: Country, God, or the Girl

K'naan is Somalian. He makes really awesome music. If you want like, a lot more personal info on him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K'naan there it is.

He did the FIFA Wavin' Flag thing. He does a lot of shit with other artists, I've noticed. But his own shit is some good-ass shit.



 

The first song I was blessed enough to listen to by K'naan was Simple. It's got such an atmosphere to it. I couldn't find a version on youtube that wasn't live, so I would very, VERY highly recommend that you look it up and listen to it yourself.

I've only spent (a LOT of) time with his album, God, Country, or the Girl. Every single song makes me jam the fuck out and it's really awesome. I can't wait to get into Troubadour and The Dusty Foot Philosopher.

There is a lot of variety to what's on this album. Some songs are really poppy and dancey, "The Sound of My Breaking Heart". Then there's the cute and well-written songs like "70 Excuses". Whatever the feel of the song, the lyrics are never lacking.

Alright seriously go listen to K'naan.
