I love Page France.  There is not one thing that I don't love about Page France but there are a couple of things that I love more then others such as Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw's vocals, I adore how they sound together.  So today I was getting my Myspace fix when I noticed that Page France had posted a new song.  I thought that it was odd that I didn't know anything about it, especially since I help do press for Page France, but it actually ended up being from a side project from the aforementioned vocalists called The Broadway Hush.  I will admit that I had never heard of this project and once again I will note that I help do press for Page France.  I will never be sure how I missed this but I am really happy that I have it now because The Broadway Hush is pretty great.

:The Broadway Hush - Tonight You Belong To Me (Gene Austin Cover):  This is the latest song that the duo has posted up for public consumption and it essentially is a really sweet version of the old Gene Austin song.   Michael and Whitney have fantastic harmony together and the slight guitar ukulele picking that is around throughout the song is a pleasure to listen too.  My favorite part is at the 1:24 mark when the whistling shows up to take the song to a level of sweetness that is unmatched by anything.  This low-fi gem is highly recommended.

:The Broadway Hush - Rooster:  Whitney takes the center stage in this song and it brings a whole new dimension to The Broadway Hush.  I kind of figured that all of their songs would be a sort of low-fi acoustic affair but this song feels lush and much more indie pop then I would expect to hear from them.  I am ready to be away from the Texas heat and into the more fall type weather and Rooster makes me want that even more.  When I hear this it makes me think about all of the different colors and how much people automatically switch to a semi-holiday mood despite the fact that it is still a few months from anything winter related.  Check this out if you want to hear some amazing vocals and an all around beautiful song.
