There’s always a special feeling when I listen to Manoel Tosto’s music, it speaks to me about how life could be, I feel like I could really use some more of that kind of energy in my life.
It’s unlikely that anyone needs to be introduced to the Rolling Stones, or to “Sympathy for the Devil,” for that matter. This specific version is from the 50th anniversary edition of Beggars Banquet, originally released in 1968.
Lee Fields is the truth and The Expressions are raw funk.
The track finds Harry opening up his heart to that special someone. He lets down his guard on the sad and gloomy piece, showing off his vulnerability. Relatable and highly emotional, “Yellow Lights” is everything you’d want in a song about tumultuous love.
This is a beautiful track which truly represents the afrobeats sounds, from the instrumentation to the lyrics and delivery everything speaks afrobeat.. Enjoy!
The beat is slow and funky, something that you can bust a little two-step to whilst cooking your dinner, I think that’s why I like it so much – you can keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the song at the same time, it’s not overpowering but it’s still enough.’
If you need to take a couple of minutes to relax, this is the perfect song to stick on. It is a super chilled out track that is so soothing to listen to.
This is one of those songs that as I dug deeper into it found so much to chew on and have grown to appreciate as an understated masterpiece. Give it a listen and as usual…turn it up!!!
Wind Parade is a song by Donald Byrd, part of the album ‘Places and Spaces’ released in 1975. Jordan’s re-work of the song is simply magnificent. He incorporates his style and personal touch, while playing tribute to those classic elements present in Donald Byrd’s original tune.
“Ol 55” has the perfect vibe and energy to bring you back – starring an amazing arrangement of keys.
The Mbira, the sacred instrument of Zimbabwe matches perfectly with the classical Koto sounds.
If 2020 were a woman, this blues-rock track — also called “Woman,” from San Francisco-based band Down Dirty Shake — would undoubtedly make for a more than appropriate theme song.
