Children of Children – Jason Isbell

30 October 2018

Jason Isbell is the American singer-songwriter who wrote “Children of Children”. His mother was only 17 years old when he was born, and she is the subject of this song. Jason was alive at the same time as his great-great-grandparent, because all generations had children at young ages…

Twilight – RelaxingVibe

30 October 2018

Alright – time to get down with some classic ambient, chill out, new age, relaxing music to write to. Looking for a simple sonic groove that delivers the tranquility of the sunset yet with enough action and interest that it can hold you and take you along for the ride – check out this track from the rather talented Frank Iengo…

Loading Zones – Kurt Vile

30 October 2018

Every now and then you stumble upon an artist and the penny drops immediately…

I wasn’t a listener back in the days of “The War On Drugs” – I guess I’m a late starter – but I had an instant connection with the 2015 release of “B’lieve I’m Going Down”…

Hand Me Down – Hales Corner

26 October 2018

Still a fairly new band, Hales Corner was formed around 2015 through the collaborative efforts of Wes Cook and Caleb Adams. People of the world, they are SO worth the listen…

Sundown Syndrome – Tame Impala

26 October 2018

Sundown Syndrome is a seriously underrated song of a now wildly popular band. My 16 year old self was introduced to the genius work of Kevin Parker by a childhood friend from New Zealand. To him I am forever grateful.

I Hate Love – SilentHeart

23 October 2018

This weeks track is from hip-hop/trap artist SilentHeart. The title of the song summarizes the idea of track pretty well. The song deals with heartbreak and the consequences of falling for someone that doesn’t love you back…

My Body – lemin.

23 October 2018

We first saw lemin (pronounced “lemon”) perform at a showcase this past summer, where she was one of about a dozen artists, each with 10 minutes to show their stuff. Most artists came out with big outfits, high energy, dance moves, and hype men to get the crowd’s energy up. Lemin was different…

To My Father – Nicholas Tomillon

23 October 2018

“I’ve always been a fighter / I met you in the war / I thought you would care for me / ‘Cause that’s what fathers are for.” From the first lines of “To My Father,” it’s clear that teen singer/songwriter Nicholas Tomillon has faced adversity…

Minha Bossa É Treta – Yzalú

23 October 2018

When your whole existence is a fight for survival, it’s only natural that the fierceness shows even in the most delicate frames. 

As a black woman, with physical disabilities, singer and songwriter Yzalú, from São Paulo, Brazil, surely has a lot of strength to add to her art,…

Tears In Heaven – Eric Clapton

23 October 2018

This week, I want to reveal to you my greatest fear. It’s that something bad will happen to my children. In fact, if I’m honest with you, as far as I’m concerned, no other fear comes even close. The thought of that is unbearable. I don’t know how people who lose their children ever recuperate. I would probably lose my mind…

Let’s Party – Peter Zaad

23 October 2018

Hey I’m back guys and this week I bring to you a track by Peter Zaad called “Let’s Party”

The track is very upbeat, highly energetic and has everything you need to keep the adrenaline pumping throughout your blood…

23 October 2018

Old school meets new school on the Flipmode Squad and The Conglomerate’s much-teased collaboration. Finally, Busta’s original squad aligns with members of his current label. With a diverse group, the posse cut features Rampage, Rah Digga, Trillian, O.T. Genasis, J-Doe, Murda Mook, Baby Sham, Spliff Star, Prayah, and Aaron Cooks. Lord have mercy. (no pun intended)…
