so for my 2nd #millasmusicmondays pick, here's an amazing song by @KodaSC, its called "waking". have a great night!

this song is insanely amazing.

The Knife is one of my favorite bands of the last 5 years, lets say, where I go, ‘Oh, this is everything that I love about music’. Karin Dreijer who’s the lead singer has her own band, Fever Ray, who I’m a huge fan of, but The Knife, like, it has this synth-pop feeling, but it’s also, not your nail-on-the-head synth-pop.

I had the Chinese Assistant Director call because, you know, we didn’t speak Chinese, to call the radio station. I said, ‘Who is this?’ He’s like, ‘Oh, it’s this band Orchestra Baobab and they’re coming to perform.’ So I’m like, ‘I gotta go see this show.’ So I see these guys, in China, Hong Kong, Orchestra Baobab, they’re like 85 years old. They’ve been playing together since they were probably like 6 or 7 and they are just jammin’ up there. They are so tight, the instruments, it’s like a part of them, it’s literally like a limb, you know, it was unbelievable, the vibe, the feeling. I mean, beautiful.

Well this is a special band to me - and song - because I was in China, doing a film and it was like 5:45am, I mean it was dark outside, I was in the makeup and hair trailer, getting my makeup done, and there was a little Chinese radio sitting there playing music and suddenly this song came on.

I was 9 years old, and my mom always had so much control, and pretty much through Eazy-E, and that kind of like freedom, that I found to wear baggy jeans and big t-shirts and baseball caps and just act like ‘yeah, whatever’
