Middle Child – J. Cole
J.Cole has returned with new track ‘Middle Child’ – and it’s a contemplative look at what happens when you’re caught in the middle of two generations…
7 rings – Ariana Grande
Honestly, AG doesn’t rest. Each song (that she helps write or writes on her own) is a smash. She’s had hit after hit recently. From breathin’ to God is a woman. A lot of her songs are on my personal Strut playlist and will probably be added to Music To Strut To…

Never Stop – The Brand New Heavies
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…

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
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
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
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…
