There are many reasons why I love Glee, and Dianna Agron is one of them.
This is she, performing with Thao Nguyen (from Thao and the Get Down Stay Down) at Chickens in Love mini concert, hosted by the lady herself.
Ever since hearing Thao at the Tiny Desk Concert concert series on youtube (which is a whole other project I'll be blogging about soon), I was pretty much spellbound. No other female singer-songwriter since KT tunstall had made an impression but Thao, is in a class of her own.
I mean, who beatboxes, sings infectious lyrics, and still manage to remain alarmingly nimble with the guitar solos?
The Chickens in Love project is in itself interesting ; 826LosAngeles students write their own original songs after attending workshops hosted by none other than indie band 'The Submarines'. These songs were then recorded by Los Angeles based recording artists(Hello, She&Him, Cold War Kids and the Magnetic Zeros) It was amazing how Agron becomes involved in a lesser-known project as such, between performing at the white house with the rest of her Glee cast and touring.
Vocal power may not be her strength, but there's something to the immaculate smoothness of her tone that complements the ragged edge of Nguyen's. Put the two together and its dynamic. The following is another project comprising of duo.
You can follow Dianna Agron here. You'd find her posts filled with amazing photography, incredible insight on often forgettable aspects of life and be exposed to another side other than the one you know from Glee.
Hey, so maybe saving the cheerleader, does save the world
