Kina Grannis (this weeks artist of the TOP favorited music vid. See above.) is a singer/songwriter who recently found fame through the Youtube spotlight. She won the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Contest in 2007 after posting a video of herself singing her song “Message from Your Heart.” As a result of winning, she earned a recording contract with Interscope Records and her video was played during the Superbowl game. Her videos have received over 77 million views and she’s propelled to become one of the top recognized faces on Youtube. Her record Stairwells was released in 2009, and the single “In Your Arms” was one of the previously unreleased tracks.
The song has the cute factor along with a catchy chorus. Trust me, you’ll find yourself humming it soon enough.
The video? Well, are you a fan of sweetness and overall adorability? Grannis’ whimsical stop motion video delivers on both accounts, along with adding a bit of quirky flavor. Literally. Kina warbles to a stationary camera as the scenery behind her morphs, changes, and reads a lot like a storybook. The pebble-looking objects that make up the background are actually thousands upon thousands of jelly beans. That’s right, folks. JELLY BEANS! On her Youtube channel, Grannis posted this about the vid:
