There seems to be a fantastic trend lately of purty female rising stars covering songs originally by men. This time, it’s the beautiful Lissie with a powerful cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness”. I first heard this mp3 and was thrilled to find out there was a video of this performance, which gives us a chance to talk about a few non music related things I love about Lissie. 1. Her small town girl good looks and personality. 2. The shot of tequila she takes before singing her song. 3. She lists “porches” and “corn hole” among her influences. I, too, love porches and the greatest tailgate game ever, and I also enjoy tequila (unlike so many of my friends who have all had an awful night with it). And with my small town good looks and musical background, I think we were made for each other.
Check out her excellent performance in the video and then snag up the mp3 below if you dig it as I do.
