 Jadi,

dimulai dari saya dan pacar saya, Rama pergi ke karaoke keluarga. Dia memilih salah satu lagu yang dia bilang bagus dan saya pasti suka. Rama bilang kalau lagu ini dulu tahun 2009 sudah pernah dia perdengarkan ke saya tapi saya tak acuh saja waktu itu. Selain itu saya juga punya masalah short-term memory lost. HAHA..

Well, for short, bener-bener saya jatuh cinta pada lagu itu. Judulnya Chicken Fried. Dinyanyikan oleh Zac Brown Band. Penyanyi + gitarisnya wajahnya seperti Seth Rogen mixed with Zach Galifianakis.. LOL!!

Anw, nuansa yang dibawa Zac Brown Band ini adalah country. And since I already declare myself as a Pop-Country woman, this song really have my ears :)

A brief explanation about  Zac Brown Band (from Wikipedia Zac brown Band)

Zac Brown Band is an American country music, southern rock, and folk band based in Atlanta, Georgia. The lineup consists of Zac Brown (vocals, guitar, bass guitar, percussion), Jimmy De Martini (fiddle, vocals), John Driskell Hopkins (bass guitar, guitar, vocals), Coy Bowles (guitar, keyboards), Chris Fryar (drums) and Clay Cook (guitar, keyboards, mandolin, steel guitar, vocals).

The band has toured throughout the United States, including a slot on the 2009 and 2010 Bonnaroo Music Festival. They have also recorded four studio albums, and charted seven Number One singles on the Billboard country charts: "Chicken Fried", "Toes", "Highway 20 Ride", "Free", "As She's Walking Away", "Colder Weather", and "Knee Deep" in addition to the single "Whatever It Is," which peaked at number 2 on the same chart.

Asal tahu saja, Zac Brown Band sudah mendapatkan berbagai nominasi dan awards. Empat nominasi di 2009 CMA Awards: New Artist of The Year, Song of the Year, Singleof the Year, dan Music Video of the Year untuk lagu Chicken Fried ini. :) Di 2009 juga, mereka menyabet tiga nominasi Grammy Awards untuk kategori Best Country Album, Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, dan Best New Artist. Dan di 2010, mereka memenangkan Grammy untuk Best New Artist.

Selain Chicken Fried, telinga saya juga sangat dimanjakan oleh lagu Toes (asyik banget nuansa pantai Hula-hula), Colder Weather (lebih love ballad), dan Whatever It Is (MUCH MORE romantic than Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are!!)

Well, just decide to listen to them! :D
