Never Stop – The Brand New Heavies

29 January 2019

First post of 2019 and I wanted to start the year off with a classic feel good record. “Never Stop” by the Brand New Heavies is a groovy track released in 1991. And when I say groovy, there isn’t a better word to describe the rhythm section of this track…

What you Gonna Do – Extended Version – Da Fleiva, Bijue

29 January 2019

This week we’re coming at ya straight from Romania with some sexy house music. This track is a personal long time favorite of mine by none other than Da Fleiva and Bijue who happen to also be two of my favorite Romanian artists…

Surprised – Robert Maitland

29 January 2019

Why did no one warn me musicals were so addictive?

It’s the weekend. I’m in the kitchen. I have some writing to finish. ‘Will you stop singing?’ my wife asks. ‘I’m working’ I say. ‘So, why are you singing then? It sounds like you’re killing the cat’. In the background, Dorothy’s following the yellow brick road at full tilt…

‘Til I Die – The Beach Boys

29 January 2019

Real difficulties can be overcome; it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

–    Theodore N. Vail (former president of A T & T)

Very seldom do I run into a quote that’s as true as the one above. In a way, it’s ridiculous how vulnerable we are to our own thoughts. No matter how we slice it, we are at their mercy…

Mombasa – Foreign/National

29 January 2019

My aussie roots seem to be growing into fervent entanglement with some really snazzy australian artists. These roots have wrapped gently around the five-piece band known as Foreign/National. They have been a favorite of mine for quite awhile now and this track in particular keeps me groovin’ even when there is no groove left…

WTP – Teyana Taylor

29 January 2019

One can say Teyana Taylor’s 2018 album was shakey, unfinished, and left by the wayside of Kanye’s Good Music albums. Taylor herself publicly expressed her displeasure with the roll out and finished product…

Hung up over you – Princeaubrey

29 January 2019

“I personally feel this song puts the listener right into a summer day at the beach with the sun beaming on him/her while the person can vibe to a song about moving on from an ex…”

SUMMER – The Carters

29 January 2019

The powerful married couple of Jay-Z and Beyonce join forces to deliver a serene anthem for the warm weather. “SUMMER,” is an R&B/Hip-Hop track about a harmonious couple (Jay and Beyonce) expressing their love for each other…

What It Is – Autumn Dawn Leader

28 January 2019

I like Autumn Leader – I like this track – and while it’s a little more raw than the majority of the songs on this playlist – the lyric is undeniable. Followers of the list will be familiar with my particular disdain for platitudes and positive messages – inspirational quotes – in quotes – make me want to throw up – preferably on the person who posted them…

Interview With Blake Byrd of FLOCK – Date Or Dance

27 January 2019

Last week I had the pleasure of catching up with Blake Byrd from the band FLOCK. Their new single “Date or Dance” is already out streaming on Spotify – if you’re up for some high energy pop with a feel good groove that’ll take you back to your High School Prom (or even to your forthcoming engagement!) – you gotta check it out – it’s a blast.

Intoxicated – Radio Edit – Martin Solveig, GTA

25 January 2019

This song will make you feel like you’re in the opening credits of a movie, and maybe that’s because it was used in the opening credits of a movie (How To Be Single). Picture this: you step out of the train station, apartment, house, grand central station, and a camera follows your commute…

Supermodel (You Better Work) – RuPaul

25 January 2019

Just as the song says; You Better Work. If you don’t know about RuPaul, he’s a born and raised Californian who is credited with widening exposure for drag queens in mainstream society…
