One of my favorite artists/people that I've been able to work with this year is Aimee Allen.  She released her latest album A Little Happiness a few months back and I had the privilege of playing keys with her on a few of her live dates.  You've probably heard Aimee sing--her song "Cooties" (produced by my dear friend Lucian "Revolucian" Piane) appeared on the platinum-selling Hairspray Soundtrack and she also is the artist behind the Ron Paul presidential campaign theme song "Revolution."  In A Little Happiness, Aimee's songwriting lays out the perfect mix of joy and pain in life through her seemingly lighthearted songs.  The reggae beats keep going strong throughout the album--almost as if the artist is trying to convince herself that everything's alright even when she knows at her core that it's all falling apart.  Check out Aimee at www.aimeeallen.com or A Little Happiness on iTunes.
