New Video: At Last - Etta James Cover
🕑 Added 2017-10-13 20:49:58 +0000 UTC happy friday, friends :)so i don't know if this is a thing for anyone else, but there seem to be maybe 5 or so random songs from throughout my life that periodically pop into my head and get very stuck there--often, and for no reason. they aren't even necessarily my favorite songs, and they are songs i haven't listened to in probably 10+ years. because they're around in my mind so often, they've come to feel like good friends of mine :) (jesse may feel differently since he's the one that has to hear me singing the same parts of them on loop ALL. THE. TIME.) anyone else experience something like this? what are your songs? some others of mine are "mr jones pt 2" by ben folds, "hero" by kate earl, and... (see i promise i was going somewhere with this random story!!) "at last" by etta james.
i've loved this song for so long and i don't know why it never occurred to me to cover it, but i'm so glad i finally have! (we've got jesse to thank for that idea--thank you jesse!)
in other news:
- i still owe you the first song i ever wrote, and i'm trying to make that happen this month (so much regret)
- trying to get the next song from the new album out later this month--fingers crossed i can get it done in time!
- i've started taking super beginning hip hop dance classes and it's the most fun(/most terrifying) thing ever
anyone else have news to report? let us know down below! thank you all so much for supporting and being the absolute best. how'd i get so darn lucky. <3

Hey, would you consider maybe supporting my music? I make a variety of electronic music genres and am looking for some support :3 your subscription would be amazing, and I'd be truly grateful ♥️☺️
So good, Kina! I didn't know the title, but your first jazzy note put a big smile on my face :] When does Hawaii get to hear you live? Big Island please!
Beautiful Song!
Also, you mentioned hip hop dance classes and I remembered that time you danced with Phil of Wongfu. Will we be seeing another hip hop dance collab in the future? Maybe at a live gig?
Kina! This is one of your best vocals ever! 😍🙌🏼. My heart thanks you for the exercise ❤️. Also, you are totally slaying the oh-I'm-just-chilling-at-home-with-my-guitar-and-I-look-so-pretty-but-I'm-not-aware-of-it look 😉 Ok, news: First I visited my sister in New York City end of September. I stayed there for two weeks, hanging out and going around the city (my first time in NY and my first US visit since 1999). We also got an overnight bus tour to Washington DC, and I even got to visit my friend in Colorado Springs. It was awesome. Second, not only do I now have enough material for an EP, I also have a clear concept for the album,which I have decided to record live one weekend (hopefully next month depending on my schedule) at my house up in the mountains. I was just there this morning, testing the recording equipment (which is basically my iPad and a condenser mic) to make sure the forest sounds are there but not in an intrusive way. Wish me luck!
when I was a kid, mom ordered several LP vinyl records which contained collections of great hits from the 1950's and "60s. songs that are now referred to as "oldies". I think I played those albums so much, I nearly wore them out. most of the songs that pop into my head that aren't your songs are songs I first heard on those albums. other than this, nothing new to report!
