Albums every HFG must have

I love music. I mean, I really love music. I can't imagine my life without it. I wake up in the morning with music running through my head and the soundtrack continues all day. Music is one way I remain a Happy Fat Girl. So here are a few albums I feel like every HFG should have to make their lives just a little brighter.

  • I have to start off of course with the incomparable Ms. Jill Scott, who is the spokes-person for being an HFG. Who is Jill Scott? is one of my favorite albums and even if you aren't a fan of neo-soul you will find something you like on this album. I can guarantee it. Jill Scott's melodic voice and poetic soul simply makes life just a little easier.
  • As much as I hate to admit this Beyonce Knowles B-Day is a must for HFG. Her music makes you feel good and the beats just make you want to dance. As I said before listening to"Get Me Bodied" can put that sexy strut in your walk.
  • Even though Amy Winehouse is a hot mess, you can not deny that she makes some great music. Back to Black is testament to the talent and fierceness of Ms. Winehouse. I listen to "You know I'm No good" on those days I am feeling a little mischievous and I want to cause a little mayhem. Even a Happy Fat Girl has her naughty days ;) .
  • Coming out of her Dirrty X-tina days, Christina Aguilera step back on to the scene with a Big Band, Jazz pop sensation entitled Back to Basics. You can help but love this album it makes you want to put on cute little dress and swing dance the night away.
  • Okay my rocker chicks there is a little something for you in this list. I love The Veronicas album Hook Me Up with it's electro-pop beats it's kinda of hard no to rock out to the track "Take Me on the Floor". The Australian pop-rock duo has the right mix pop beats with a nice hard edge of rock.
  • For my older HFG's, yes you can be a HFG at any age, you must go out there and by at least one Al Green album. You can't listen to Al Green without a smile on your face. Try it I dare you.
  • Now every HFG needs so baby-making music to get her in the mood and nobody does that better then Robin Thicke. I bet that man is single-handedly responsible for the population boom in recent years with his album The Evolution of Robin Thicke. Listen to the the track "I need love" and you will know what I am talking about.
Take some time today to buy or download one of these albums, grab your mp3 or CD player and let the music take you away. Dance and sign along because that is the joie de vivre.
