This week I've been listening to the debut album Gore, by Belgian-Congolese-Rwandan songwriter/singer/rapper Lous and the Yakuza on repeat. The entire album is sung/rapped in French, and although je ne parle pas, her life story behind her short 24 years speaks as the back drop - not to mention the presence of her musical influences Whitney Houston and Mozart. Check out this profile from the New York Times outlining her inspiring upbringing, and her Instagram for some international cool-girl realness. Listen to the vibe-y Gore here, and again.. don’t forget your dancing shoes.

"Get ready for an overdose of awesome. The soaring red-and-white cliffs of Zion Canyon, one of southern Utah's most dramatic natural wonders, rise high over the Virgin River. Hiking downriver through the Narrows or peering beyond Angels Landing after a 1500ft ascent is indeed amazing. But, for all its awe-inspiring majesty, the park also holds more delicate beauties: weeping rocks, tiny grottoes, hanging gardens and meadows of mesa-top wildflowers. Lush vegetation and low elevation give these magnificent rock formations a different feel from the barren parks in the east." - From our friends at Lonely Planet Explore the 20 best hikes and must-see's in Zion with Kevin Eassa.
