Artist Kenny Scharf rose to prominence in the 1980s New York art scene as part of a now-legendary group of artists including Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, but he was born and raised in Los Angeles, and now makes southern California his home.

Video Clip of The Week: La Sera, “I Need An Angel”

There is much to be said for a song that just has a Good Vibe going on, and that is the case with La Sera‘s truly sublime “I Need An Angel.” Like a rave-up duet between Maria McKee and Gram Parsons (if there could be such a thing), “I Need An Angel” transcends its potentially played out subject matter to cross genres in a way that the California Sound of the 196os inspired what we now call alt-country — and who is even doing that in modern music these days?
