I know it’s been said a lot by now, but I honestly could NOT be happier or more stoked for Arcade Fire on their win of Album of the Year for their album “The Suburbs”. Not only are they incredible musicians that created some of my favorite albums including the Grammy winner, they are the nicest, most inspiring people. On their last tour, Arcade Fire brought along Partners in Health to raise money and awareness for the devastation in Haiti, where band member Regine Chassagne’s parents immigrated from to Canada, where Regine was born. I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer at their show and get people involved. Arcade Fire has also been a supporter of Oxfam America, a non-profit relief organization that works to find lasting solutions to global hunger, poverty, and social injustice. I am so happy that a band that gives so much, in music and charity, are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Too bad it took the Grammy for the radio to start playing more Arcade Fire, but I’m glad America’s eyes have finally been opened. Congratulations! xx
Album of the Year goes to – Arcade Fire
