Music Spotlight: Us

These last few weeks, I've been absolutely obsessed with the husband-and-wife songwriter duo, Carissa Rae and Michael Alvarado, together known as "Us". They first caught my attention with their nostalgic TV Show Medley video incorporating tons of shows from the 90s that put a smile on my face instantly. If you crave ear-candy that's fun, fresh, with a touch of soul, you've hit the music jackpot with this couple. Some have even compared them to sounding like the "female Bruno Mars"! But if you're not a fan of Bruno, don't let that turn you off. They have a wide array of tracks to appeal to whatever mood you're in. They've covered favorites from Carly Rae Jepsen, Rihanna, Linkin Park and even The Beatles! What I find even more entrancing is their original music. Tracks like "Make You Love Me" and "Take Me Home" from their self-titled album are just the comfort you need after a long day. If that isn't enough to sell you, as a couple they are absolutely adorable to watch. They've even video documented both the marriage proposal and the wedding! Let us know what you think of 'Us' or of any more artists who you think should be featured here! Hope you've enjoyed our first music spotlight post and check in weekly for more!
