Kung Fu Kenny ...
He spazzes on this song, and in this video. I mean what more is there to say?
Be Humble.
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
Lucky For Me
Sweet baby Jesus he did it again!
I love the chord progressions in this song!
Cute & creative video!
Bruno has sealed his place as an eternal bae!
A Perfect Illusion ...
I know this song has to BUMP in the clubs! Great energy, and I like the energy and vibe of the video.
What I Thought I Knew, I Don't Seem To ...
“Here I am again asking questions,
Waiting to be moved.
I am so unsure of my perception,
What I thought I knew I don’t seem to
Where is the turn so I can get back to what I believe in?
Back to the old me and
God, please hear my call.
I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw
I need your healing
Please, please, please.
I am such a fool
How did I get here?
Played by all the rules
Then they changed
I am but a child to your vision
Standing in the cold and the rain
Lost here in the dark
I can’t see my foot to take a step,
What is happening?
Oh, this hurts so bad. I can hardly breathe.
I just want to leave so...
God, please hear my call.
I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw
I need your healing
Please,
God, please hear my call.
I am afraid for me.
Love has burned me raw
I need your healing
Please, please, oh, please, please.
God please hear my call.
I am afraid.
Love has turned me cold,
I need your healing.
Please, please, please, please, please, please.”
Sippin on Some SZA
I just heard SZA's latest song, "Drew Barrymore" the other day, and that she's getting ready to release a new album, CTRL!
I've been keeping up with SZA for years, and I'm liking her growth! Love her fashion sense, songwriting, voice, and big hair!
1st video is the music video for one of my favorite songs by her, "Babylon":
2nd video is her recent live performance of her new song, "Drew Barrymore":
**Edit: Sza has since released a music video for the single, which features an apropos cameo by Drew Barrymore, and is featured below!**
What You Say To Me?
Aaaahhhh if only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if they could "touch my hair?"
No one wants, or should be made, to feel like a novelty toy. There is a difference between appreciation/admiration and fetishization. Thank you Solange for using your creativity to make a simple, but profound statement!
This song is laid-back, but groovy! This video is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for showcasing the versatility of natural African hair! Also, showing versatility in fashion and dance/movement! African culture across the diaspora is rich and diverse!
Deja Tune!
Gotta love a good use of a sample!
Heads up ...
If you're at work you can listen to this song:

Happy listening! :)
A Look Into the Future!
How do you see the world in 100+ years? In Snoop Dogg's video, "California Roll", he depicts an Afrocentric vision for the world in the next [insert large number here] years.
Snoop and I are kindred spirits in regards to who he chose to take into the future with him.
I'm here for this!
I Wanna Hear You Scream!
The EPITOME of ROCK'N"ROLL.

Head to Toe, Soul Player!
This song is in HEAVY rotation pretty much anywhere you listen, and in my personal queue.
This song is the $#!+, that's it.
Now PUT YOUR
PINKY
RINGS UP
TO THE
MOON!
Day By Day, and Night and Night!
This song has been STUCK in my head for some time now - I LOVE IT!
I always have enjoyed it, but lately this song has really met me where I'm at in terms of what my ears have been lending themselves to ...
Personally, The System is underrated, but not by my mom! Shout out to her for introducing this band to me!
Just Like That!
"Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach" - Gorillaz ft. Snoop Dogg
This song reminded me how sick vocoders are! I have yet to use a vocoder in my music, but KNOW it's on the "To Do" list!
"Oh, this is the start of something good ... Don't you agree?"
In the spirit of starting this blog, I've got some musings in mind around themes like ...
- starting something new ...
- introductions ...
- "Welcome" ...
First musing, is in the title of this post - a lyric from Gavin Degraw's first single ("Follow Through") from his first album, "Chariot".
I've loved this song since I first heard it! It has played a significant and symbolic role in my life, helping set the tone for new relationships. Check out the music video below!
