Everywhere I go I bring My Ghost single/video by Monica Pasqual.  Mesmerizing, haunting, addictive, urgent.  At some point I will run out of adjectives to describes the beauty of this song and the hold it puts on you.

Déjà Vu , single/video by Los Hollywood. As usual they rock, and as usual they rock with something special, to wit Heidy Flores delivering great vocals, although without her bass. This Spanish language body-mover will do just that. Stream it on Spotify or Soundcloud  for some pure musical pleasure and be ready to dance. https://www.facebook.com/loshollywoodmusic/

Understood, single by Fernanda Ulibarri. Understood sneaks up on you with a banjo intro that blends into Ulibarri’s gentle, urgent, hypnotic vocals that entice you all by themselves until the bass and strings weave around her, pulling you into her cocoon.
