Timothy Kinney from Minneapolis, MN picked today's My 3 Songs set because...

"The World Cup inspired me to request these three songs by international women. Bebel Gilberto is from Brazil, Zap Mama was raised both in Europe and Africa and Sophie Barker from Zero 7 hails from England. All three are amazingly beautiful songs which put me in a great summer mood."

Bebel Gilberto - "So Nice (Summer Samba)"
Zap Mama "Sweet Melody"
Zero 7 - "Destiny"
