Thoughts on two songs by two artists that are both very important to me I know that I have mentioned Zach Bryan in posts before, but I believe I have yet to dedicate a post to him. The same goes for Frank Ocean. There are certain artists that are somewhat difficult for me to write Read more

Valerie (Live at the BBC) – Amy Winehouse Happy Friday! Amy Winehouse, there isn’t a whole lot I can say about her that hasn’t already been said. One of my favorite voices and personalities of all time, but strangely enough my favorite song of hers isn’t even originally hers. Valerie, originally by The Zutons, and Read more

Musta Been A Ghost – Proxima Parada Proxima Parada’s song “Musta Been A Ghost” is a great song for the days ahead, with summer winding down. Upbeat and soulful, this is a great song to welcome in the weekend or maybe even say goodbye to one on a Sunday afternoon. Lyrically, I think this song Read more

Don’t Leave Me This Way – Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes Feat. Teddy Pendergrass “Don’t Leave Me This Way” is probably better known as a cover by Thelma Houston or The Communards, who both do a nice job. But my favorite version is the original, written by the renowned duo Gamble and Huff, with Read more

No Ordinary Love – Sade I remember the first time I heard Sade, with my dad showing me a live concert of theirs that he had on DVD. At the time, I think I was around 9 or 10 years old and wasn’t really into it. As I got older, and really began to fall Read more

Can You Do It For Me – Jai’Len Josey I first heard this song in the back of a car with some of my really good friends in college, and I believe we were heading back to Carrollton (where I went to school) from Atlanta via I-20. It was pretty late at night and I Read more

Half the City – St. Paul and the Broken Bones Look up “blue-eyed soul” in the dictionary, and hopefully, this album is there. I love soul music in any form, and this is one of the best “true” soul albums I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, I can proudly Read more

paralyzed – Souly Had I love a good falsetto. I love neosoul music. This is a perfect song for me to enjoy. I’ll admit, I don’t know any others by Souly Had, but I really dig the vibe and sound of this one. It’s one that I listen to a lot of times in the Read more

Hays, Kansas – 49 Winchester I believe I first heard “this song”Hays, Kansas” about two or so years ago, and I initially fell in love with the opening guitar riff, then soon after lead singer Isaac Gibson’s voice (seen on the cover of their album, III). As soon as it was over, I think I Read more

John Redcorn – SiR SiR’s “John Redcorn” is a great R&B/Soul track from his 2019 album Chasing Summer. I believe I found this song by accident while searching for King of The Hill clips on YouTube. The song is named after a character on the aforementioned show which features the character, John Redcorn, who is Read more
