I do not know about you, but I get bore with music really quick. I am always looking for new artists and music to listen to. Listening to radio stations is cool, but they usually tend to play over and over the same music. So how can you find new music and artists?
The best way is to use some apps that will help you find what you are looking for. Let me telling you about some of them

1. Pandora: probably the most popular application, almost everyone knows about it. It is like a radio station that plays only the type of music you like. You have to get creative to find new music here.
2. Shazam: The cool thing about this application is that let you learn about the artist and more.
3. The Hype Machine: it is an application that looks in blogs and sites for new music.
4. StumbleAudio: it is like stumbleuppon but for music.
5. Besides applications I also read the news to look who the opening shows for known artists. The opening shows are usually new artists and the music will be soon famous as they are opening for an already famous person.

Tommy Torres ganador del Premio Grammy presenta su nuevo sencillo "Mientras Tanto" en colaboración con Ricardo Arjona. 

Nuevamente con letra sencilla y hermoso acompañamiento musical, la canción es romántica y con un ritmo acogedor.

La canción es en colaboración con el maravilloso artista Ricardo Arjona y el mensaje es muy lindo, con un poco de optimismo, pues nadie sabe que nos traerá el mañana,  “pues ya veremos”.


"Vivir con miedo no es negocio, solo para los noticieros" 
Te invito a ver el video y la canción esta disponible en itunes

A few weeks back I heard for the First time about Tommy Torres and I felt in love with his music (I blogged about it) The songs are very romantic and easy to listen to.

Now Tommy Torres has a new single out. 11:11 the new music video is a very different video, but it has you glued to the TV (or computer) waiting to see what else happens.  The video starts with him tied up to a chair in a room full of toys and then he finds his way out to be playful with his lady.

The video actually relates to the lyrics of the song. The song is about a couple that friends call boring, because they stay at home and are not our partying. I feel very identified with the song. I have already party hard when I was younger, but now with a kid on board I rather have a family night.

This does not mean, as the song says, that after a while, while relaxing and cuddling on the bed, things cannot turn out to be fun.  Actually the name of the song 11:11 is because it is at that time that the couple after some cuddling start having fun with each other (I know you know what I mean… caliente!)

The rhythm of the song is very romantic and I can say that it would be a great song to listen while you cuddle with your partner in bed on a Friday night, as the song goes…

It will certainly help you to be in the mood for a romantic night and to learn to enjoy quiet nights at home. Fun does not have to be going out to dance; family quiet nights at home can be really great too.

You can watch the video 11:11, Tommy’s new song on YouTube and subscribe to www.youtube.com/TommyTorresWML

 
 
Until today, I had heard the name Tommy Torres just once, because he collaborated with one of my favorite artists: Juanes. However I have to admit I was unaware that Tommy Torres was a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter that has collaborated with great artist such as @Ricardo_Arjona @Juanes and @aliciakeys


Besides, his talent, I also have to admit he has good looks…

This year on June 12, Tommy Torres held a Twit cam to promote his new single “Querido Tommy”. The song was a suggestion from one of Torres’ fans, Paco that asked him on twitter to help him profess his love to a girl. (As an update, Paco has since, closed his twitter account and Tommy Torres does not know if his advice was effective).

The song is written in a very plain language and the video is very well designed. Different to almost every song video lately that seems to be really extravagant; his video is of very high quality and very appealing to the eyes but it is also a down to earth video that express the real meaning of the song.




Tommy Torres a Grammy Award winner is probably going to continue winning more awards with songs like this one.

I want to invite you to connect with Tommy Torres. You can follow him on Twitter @tommy_torres or maybe
like his page on Facebook, who knows, you might be featured on one of his future songs.

You can also subscribe to his YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/TommyTorresWML

The video is also on his web page 

You can also enjoy some of his previous songs: Pegadito and Como Olvidar

I am sharing the lyrics of the song for your enjoyment.
Querido Tommy:
Te escribo esta carta,
no sé si tú realmente lees estas
cartas, te escribo para pedirte algo
que para mí, es de vida o muerte,
no pienses que exagero, es la verdad

Mi nombre es Paco y te escribo de Santiago
hay una chica que no se sale de mi mente


Para eso eres tan elocuente y a ella le encantan tus canciones, ya te imaginas para dónde voy

Es que con ella no me salen las palabras y quizás tú pudieras ayudarme a decirle que yo muero aquí por ellam de una forma un poco más poética
que  eso del romanticismo
a mí, no se me da, dame algo tan bonito
que le saque mil suspiros
decirle que la amo y nada más
no sé si bastará

Señor Tommy:
aquí le escribo nuevamente,
no me ha contestado pensaba
que era buena gente,
puede que esté muy ocupado
pero yo estoy desesperado,
ayúdeme a encontrar la forma

De decirle que yo muero aquí por ella
de una forma un poco más poética
que eso del romanticismo
a mí no se me da,
déme algo tan bonito que le
saque mil suspiros, decirle que la amo
y nada más, no sé si bastará

Amigo Paco, disculpa la demora
espero no te moleste que haya copiado
aquí tu historia, en el amor no soy experto,
no sé de donde sacaste eso,
nada puedo estar más lejos de la verdad

No confundas, palabrería por sentimiento
las metáforas, solo pajas del intelecto
si me preguntas que decirle a tu chica
sólo dile que te mueres por ella
no se me ocurre una mejor manera
que eso del romantismo, es sólo
un juego de ajedrez
cuando se trata de sentimientos,
no hay nada como ser directo,
dile que la amas y nada más,
seguro bastará

Dear Tommy,
I'm writing you this letter,
I don't know if you really read these letters,
I'm writing you to ask you for something
for me, it's life or death,
don't think I'm exaggerating, it's the truth

My name is Paco
and I'm writing from Santiago,
there's a girl that I can't take off my mind

For those things, you're so eloquent
and she loves your songs, by now,
you can imagine where I'm going

When I'm with her, I have no words
and perhaps, you can help me tell
her that I'm dying for her [love]
in a more poetic way being romantic
is no me at all
give me something so beautiful that it will take her
breath away tell her that I love her
and that's all, I don't know if it
will be enough

Mr. Tommy
I'm writing you again, you haven't replied,
I thought you were a good guy,
maybe you're too busy, but I'm desperate,
help me find a way

To tell her that I'm dying for her [love]
in a more poetic way being
romantic is no me at all
give me something so beautiful
something no one ever has said to her,
tell her that I love her and that's all
I don't know if it will be enough

My friend Paco, Sorry for the delay,
I hope you're not mad because
I've used your story [in this song]
in love matters, I'm not an expert,
I don't know why you'd think that
that's far from the truth

Don't confuse idle talk with real feelings
metaphors, if you're asking me what to tell your girl,
just tell her you're dying to have her [love],
I can't think of a more direct way
and romanticism it's just a game of chess,
when it's about feelings, it's
better to be straightforward,
tell her you love her and just that,
I will  probably be enough.
