We need people like Weyes Blood on this world, desperately.
We need someone to remind us of beauty, someone who can speak to our hearts on the days the rain drowns the soul, we need people like her, people who remember the amazing beauty of the human condition, the incredible miracle that is being here, alive…
I would say you have to be a Nigerian to understand why this song bangs so much but then I’ll be going against the purpose of my playlist in the first place; music that brings people together regardless of Cultural background, Language, ethnicity, race, borders etc…
Doll Skin is a group I stumbled upon while walking from stage to stage at warped tour. Alex Snowden happened to be playing a face melting solo, I stopped in my tracks, called the rest of my friends over and we rocked out to four of the most bad ass girls tearing up the stage…
I get a lot of track submissions. Some are good; some are bad. Some are downright ridiculous. They span all different genres and styles, from artists with hundreds of thousands of streams to those with virtually none. It’s always exciting listening to the latest track to land in my inbox (and I do genuinely listen to every one!), and I never know what to expect when I follow that Spotify link into the unknown…
Rsvp is the latest release from R&B singer and songwriter LOVEONFRIDAY. The track features a smooth beat and wavy vocals from the Texas native. His lyrics are not exactly clear at times, as he uses the beat and a sort of “mumble rap” to carry his flow…
We jellyfish like to party like any other creatures. When the current is just right and there’s an abundance of a favored food source, we join together in a big bloom. It’s nice to see your friends and neighbors enjoying themselves and forgetting their sea of troubles while reading the peaceful, soothing waves…
Bringing back some good ol’ jazz this week.
For a virtuoso of Joe Pass’s stature, there are terribly few people who still listen to him. Considered one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century, Joe Pass is not unlike his contemporaries…
I can remember hearing Earth, Wind, and Fire (EWF) aka the “Elements” every Saturday morning as a kid growing up. One of my father’s favorite groups. And understandably so. EWF took jazz, soul, gospel, pop and more and wrapped it up in one psychedelic, mystical package…
Get ready to dance party people because this week we got a major party anthem based on a classic hit.
The track puts a modern day dance heavy update to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell and I must say that I am exceeding impressed and am addicted to the many flavors this song provides…
Ebo Taylor, now 82 years old, is a Ghanian musician who has been actively performing for sixty years. He was a notable highlife and Afro-Beat musician in West Africa in the 70’s, but only in the last decade has he begun receiving international attention…
The other day, I was watching a new TV series about separated couples who’ve been unsuccessful in signing the divorce papers. The basic idea of the show was that these individuals, some of them stuck in their own indecision for years, were bought together to work with therapists, social workers and lawyers to put it all to rest….
Unrequited love…
Is there anything so ruinous to the soul?
What do you do with all that emotion – all that raw feeling that you know – deep down – will never be reciprocated? Maybe you cling to hope – hope that one day they’ll see you – that they’ll learn to love you- that you’ll ultimately be together,…
