I just finished listening to a really great interview with one of my favourite bands, Shaye. Shaye is made up of three women with solo careers in their own right – Kim Stockwood, Tara McLean and Damhnait Doyle. They are all Atlantic Canadian girls and their music is a magical blend of harmony and beautiful lyrics.

Andrew and I caught a performance when they began their first tour. It was one of the best I’ve seen. I ran out and bought the album and was hooked. In fact, their song Beauty became my expat anthem and I think the lyrics still sum up a lot of my feelings about living this life.

They just released their latest album – Ring of Fire. I’ve been listening to it on their website and I can’t wait to get my hands on the real one. In the interview, they talked about their latest album, but also about the current political climate in Canada and our roll in Afghanistan. Even if you aren’t a fan of the music, they are engaging women and the interview is really interesting.
