"If David Byrne put together a group that sang in Hebrew, it would probably sound like this. Fool's Gold is an L.A.-based duo that enlists a bevy of worldly musicians to melt Afro-tinged rhythms into a sparkly package that we swear is feel-good pop gold. From the drum slaps and handclaps to a sunny guitar riff at the root of it all, this groove won't let summer go away." -- iTunes Store

[video] Kany Garcia - Eras Tú

"This is definitely not a cover of the sappy '70s song that we were expecting. Latin GRAMMY®-winning Kany Garcia takes an empowered stance on the rockin' Eres Tú that reminds us of a less-bubbly 'Walking On Sunshine' meets britpop guitar-chord progressions. Garcia sure makes it sound fun telling a (presumed) lover — who thinks the grass is greener on the other side — to take a hard look at himself and the road in front of him. While this misguided hombre may need to grow up and ditch the carefree naivety, we encourage you to have a blast boppin' and singing along with Garcia." -- iTunes Store
