All the Playlists

More Than a Woman – Bee Gees

14 August 2018

The movie Saturday Night Fever set the world and dance floors on fire. Comprised of shake-your-body-down-to-the-ground songs as well as heart-wrenching ballads, it has one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time. One of the most exquisite songs from the double-album, which was released in 1977, is “More Than a Woman,”…

Love is the Message – Yussef Dayes (feat. Alfa Mist and Mansur Brown)

14 August 2018

Renowned London jazz drummer Yussef Dayes was, until recently, best known for his contributions to the highly acclaimed “Black Focus” album from duo Yussef Kamaal. Dayes has since teamed up with producer and keyboardist Alfa Mist to bring us his debut single “Love is the Message,” released last month…

Dollar Bill – Phoebe Ryan

14 August 2018

This song is a fat paycheck, the ability to spend money with absolutely no consequence. This song is a Porsche on Rodeo drive, a sparkling chandelier. This song is a dress with real diamonds on it, imported silks, bottle service every night of the week….

All I Do – Kirk Whalum

14 August 2018

A favorite remake of mine. Originally recorded by Tammi Terrell in 1966, but most notably known by Stevie Wonder, on his 1980’s classic album “Hotter than July.” This performance of “All I Do” was recorded by Kirk Whalum on his 1998 album “For You.”…

Ceylon – K. Leimer

14 August 2018

Un bajo custodiado por unas cuerdas sintetizadas abre “Ceylon” una de las canciones de Leimer por las cuales Baladamenti mataría…

Love in La – Alex Price

14 August 2018

The song has a groovy summer feel to it. Excellent vocals, smooth feel and mix with clean sounding instruments on the recording. The lyrics flow really well with it.

I Don’t Love You – Bullet Lane

14 August 2018

The only thing more unthinkable than leaving was staying; the only thing more impossible than staying was leaving. I didn’t want to destroy anything or anybody. I just wanted to slip quietly out the back door, without causing any fuss or consequences, and then not stop running until I reached Greenland.

When I First Met Your Ma – Paul Kelly

14 August 2018

I’m taking advantage of my guest spot here on the Grieve list by introducing you to one of Australia’s finest storytellers Mr. Paul Kelly.

A true Aussie icon, and indisputably the jewel in the crown of home grown artists, in my eyes. Fact or fiction, his writing has the ability to lift you from the darkest of depths or bring you to tears with honesty and realism that cuts to the bone…

Charlottesville – NIGHT featuring Guillem Duquette

11 August 2018

A downbeat, trip hop giant, pregnant with heart-bursting emotion, Charlottesville is simultaneously a tribute to those who risk their lives to stand up against race hatred and a declaration of rage against right-wing extremists – especially those in the highest office.

Street Sweeper – JMSN

2 August 2018

Producer/Songwriter Christian Berishaj aka JMSN has been on my radar for as long as I’ve been digging for music. Since I  discovered his music in 2012 he’s dropped multiple projects and all of them deliver.

The Owls – Yotto

1 August 2018

And so here we are – we’ve come to the end of our little experiment in playlist swapping and you know what?  I’ve bloody loved it!  I hope you haven’t been too freaked out by the slightly different flavor brought to the list.  Who knows – maybe at some point in the future Matt’ll let me come back…

Summertime (Sweat Mix) – Deep Dive-Corp

31 July 2018

“Summertime” from the musical “Porgy and Bess” must have been covered endlessly, but this version, which I first heard in Brazil on a mix album called “Emiliano 2” really hooked me…it’s different!…
