In honor of this week being “Let’s embed YouTube video on 8Asians.com,” I bring you this video of Marié Digby.
If the song sounds familar, it’s because it’s a cover of Rhianna’s “Umbrella,” the song that’s currently played to death on every Top 40 radio station in America. If Marié Digby’s version sounds familiar, it might be because you heard it on MTV’s “The Hills.” Marié, pronounced MAR-ee-ay is part-Japanese and is one of the many people to gain notoriety producing videos on YouTube, although from her bio, she’s not a music amateur.
No other reason for posting this besides the fact that I finally found a version of “Umbrella” that I wouldn’t mind hearing in the car, like, 150 times a day.
What next?

haha. thank goodness I’m removed from civil society and haven’t heard a radio nor watched TV all summer. i didn’t even know that “umbrella” song was popular. my sister sent it to me as an mp3 and i thought it was really cute. however, marie’s version is so much better. hey!! we should see if 8A can land an interview with Marie!
