Sonnet was born in Athens, Greece, and growing up was always involved in music. Her family hopped around the world finally settling in LA where she did most of her growing up. She is perhaps best known for her work with Lagoon, who used her song “You’re So Good For Me” in their recent advertising campaign. She has an album coming out later in 2009, and she’ll make a stop in the End Zone on 101.9 The End on Thursday, July 2nd. If you want to attend, text ENDZONE to 62582 with your full name.

You can download the full song on Lagoon’s website at lagoonpark.com. Catch up with Sonnet on her MySpace page, Facebook, Twitter and her official website.

Tomorrow they release their new single, “Got Nuffin.” And July 9-11 they’ll do a 3-night residency at Stubb’s in their hometown of Austin, Texas.
Chris Cornell’s first album after leaving Audioslave found him doing a lot of stripped down acoustic songs. Included on the album was a haunting cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” today’s NMS. Though the song is a couple years old, I felt it was apropos of the moment with Jackson’s passing yesterday. I don’t imagine Cornell viewed his version as a future eulogy for the King of Pop, but I can’t think of a better Jackson cover to serve that purpose.
