Find Me – Mella

ABSOLUTE. UNCONDITIONAL. LOVE.

Mella’s “Find Me” evokes the most intense feelings of first love, the purest of love. The feeling that you can’t possibly live without the other. The feeling that there is one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else, even better than yourself…

The Moon Illusion – Ben Hippen

Evocative!

That’s the word of the week!

The thing about music to write to is that some times you want a general piece – something to sit in the background that you don’t really connect with – it just creates the environment where you can get your head down and get something done.  Other times…

Slide – Palmetto Wave

Yoooo…. ok ok listen…. a message to any artist trying to get on any playlist of any kinds. Do your research. That is the best advice I can ever give. And with this next track I can tell this artist did his research. Anyone who reads what I write and things posted about me know Im from Florida…

I Like It – Cardi B, Bad Bunny, & J Balvin

The summer just hit and what I like is that Cardi B drops another hit with a summer Latino feel. What I like about the song is the instrumental especially the summertime vibe and the trumpets because as soon as the song comes on it’s it’s like you better believe me when I tell ya you can drink to this…

Something In The Way – Nirvana

Kurt Cobain was desperate. He tried to tell us through his music, but we didn’t listen. Sometimes the sadness of love can be so overbearing that we don’t know what to do about it…

The Proposition #1 – Nick Cave and Warren Ellis

I drive towards him, he is far away, but not too far.  

I have thought of this for years, how to do it, to feel it, to say it, to make it true.  He has waited for me to be ready, seeing things for what they were, that which they are no more.

Medicine Woman – Demi Mitchell

Demi Mitchell has got the indie scene talking here in Australia…

This weeks track submission “Medicine Woman” put me straight under Demi’s seductive spell.

Less is definitely more in my eyes and “Medicine Woman’s” fragile assembly – and narcotic slow core restraint has been nailed brilliantly…

Call Me Baby – Charlotte Morris

Enough is enough. This anthem for the Time’s Up generation draws on a lifetime of catcalls and vulgar remarks from men who treat women like sexual objects. And this is the moment when one woman can’t take any more. “I’m a strong resilient woman who knows how to kick your ass in,” warns New York singer-songwriter Charlotte Morris. “So call me baby one more time and then we’ll see who’s walking away laughing”…

Talk Fast — 5 Seconds of Summer

This song is your favorite retro bar; the pinball machines chiming in the back of the room, the unbeatable happy hour, the Mrs. Pacman and Space Invaders machines that sit, very well loved, off to the side. This song is a couple beers deep, the bright electronics illuminating an otherwise darkened room…

One Hundred Percent – Kult Of Krameria

For those of you that love and appreciate tribal house, you will enjoy this week’s track as it is infused with tribal and afro house vibes that will have you swaying your hips side to side…

Spirits – The Strumbellas

So you’ve officially been warned by me. This week’s track has such a simple melody and a really catchy tune it is stupid easy to get it stuck in your head. Spirits is a song that, in such a playful way, makes light of all our internal struggles (or our “guns and spirits” so to speak)…

Soon As I Get Home – Faith Evans

In the mid 1990s producer Chucky Thompson (of Bad Boy Entertainment’s “Hitmen” team), was fooling around on a piano in the studio, playing a sequence he’d made up when he was sixteen. A young Faith Evans came charging through the door, telling him she needed to record to that. He laughed, and told her, sure, write something to it…
