barbara2 [Cover] Kid CuDi Pursuit of Happiness (Barbara Cover)

Barbara is a three-piece electro-pop folk outfit from Los Angeles.

The band is comprised of classically trained lead singer, Derek Stephens and hip-hop/electronic influenced producer Frank Eybsen.

The cover of Kid CuDi’s Pursuit of Happiness began as a joke after a long night of drinking, and is their introduction song to the world. They plan “leak” a couple more tracks our way from their upcoming EP so be sure to check back!

    This song is a perfect blend of acoustics, voice, melody and hip-hop elements. It’s strength lies in the fact that the hip-hop elements compliment, but let the voice and melody shine. The melody sticks in your head. Who would have imagined that folk and hip-hop would make such a perfect marriage bed. This is Goooooooolden!!!

    Happiness is a state of mind that really depends how we see the situations in our lives each day. you can have all the riches in the world but still see it as a lonely place.,;-
