138. RUSSIAN RED "I HATE YOU BUT I LOVE YOU"

next up is a beautiful, forlorn, indie folk ditty, I Hate You But I Love You, from Madrid-based indie folk/pop singer/songwriter Lourdes Hernandez aka Russian Red off her much anticipated new sophomore album "Fuerteventura" (2011).

"I hate you but I love you
my favourite sun becomes a healing sign

I have to tell you this
cause my heart goes wild."

I Hate You But I Love You is a wonderfully wistful, country-tinged, indie folk anthem to unrequited love, Hernandez's endearing et delicate voice really soars on this track, with delightfully quirky, melancholy, dead pan lyrics, this is a real folk pop gem, enjoy!

curiously Hernandez's nomenclature Russian Red, comes from her favourite MAC lipstick colour.
