Cry Love
Maya Azucena
I recently returned from an amazing trip to the big bad city of New York, and among the many musicians I met and had the opportunity to experience live performances from, was the lovely Maya Azucena. I was at the Blue Note and this beautiful statuesque women got up on the stage and tore it up. She was mesmerizing and elevated the evening to another level. In short, she made quite an impression. So, I made a mental note (actually, I have a bad memory so I made a note in my iphone!) that when i got back to Australia I would be sure to check out her music. One of the tracks that I have on high rotation is the title track from her latest album - Cry Love. Press play & you will find that not only is this track catchy, but it has a thoughtful message to, with lyrics like “If justice had wings, she would sing, Cry Love in everything…”
