6lack - Pretty Little Fears ft. J.Cole

6lack-J-Cole-Pretty-Little-Fears.jpg

Two albums so far (that I know of) and… I'm still impressed. If 6lack isn't on your daily playlist, we have little in common. There's a vibe but also an authenticity that comes from his songs.  He makes being a fan fun because you know you are going to get quality from his work.

Also, can I just say… J. Cole came with a bag full of style on this.  Really appreciated his syncopation on this beat. He gave the track what was needed.

This is for everyone that knows love takes a certain level of vulnerability.  Embrace the fall...Press play

Calvin Harris - Feels Ft. Pharrell, Big Sean and Katy Perry

Sigh. Every now and then there is a song that is too good. I said it. TOO GOOD. So good it goes OVER the head of mainstream. But PROPS, (insert irregular 3rd person rant here) this video has over 446 million views. What are you talking about? Then why do I keep putting people on to this song?!?!? Probably the same reason why I got put on to this song (shout out to DJ G$Money).  

This song...came out a minute ago…but the vibe is timeless to me. Calvin Harris nailed the sound with a perfect blend of artists. It's pretty criminal how good this song is. So until somebody posts bail...press play.


*okay, that was pretty corny...hate me later

Leriq: Say you love me ft. Wizkid

I'm a fan of these brothers. A co-worker put me to some Nigerian music and I haven't been the same since.  No lie.  The beats, the flow, the music...it's a game changer ya'll.  So this was the first song she put me on to.  Shout out to Miss Tami -Salute

"Say you love me, Say you love me,

I know you like it how I give it you baby lemme hear you now"

The lyrics on this one are fiyah.  American writers, take note.  Practice the art of syncopation...OR?  learn from Leriq & Wizkid.

"080 tonight tonight tonight tonight, baby baby na you na you na you I wan do, baby I don dey maya for your matter, baby baby I don dey craze"

Expect to hear a lot more from these brothers, they've got mood music down to a science.

Jhene Aiko: Bed Peace ft. Childish Gambino

Shhh...just let Jhene speak...

"What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it"

Sometimes you just have to let the music tell its own story.

"Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do my hair, gotta put on make-up
Gotta act like I care about this fake stuff
Straight up"

Anything you wanna add Mr. Gambino?

"Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and the stress
If the world doesn't change then we'll never get dressed
It'll be like this to the kiss of the death"

This song makes wanna chill ad grind at the same time.  So let's...

Majid Jordan: My love ft. Drake

Hey.  Do you like Drake “Hold on, we’re going home”?  Yea?  Me too… How about a whole album of that sound?

Enter Majid Jordan.

“I had an idea in my head
I pictured this going differently
I meant every word that I said
You should have spent more time listening”

Strong singer + strong producer + lyrics typically make for good music.  Fingers crossed it leads to more.  The whole album has a real easy yet intense sound.  It’s definitely a mood ALBUM.  No need to skip unless you want to.

“You got your trophies
I know how you like to show 'em off and shine 'em, and line 'em up
I'm not your trophy, baby
I won't let you show me off or shine me up, or line me up, no”

Today I actually just went to Majid Jordan's album with a need to change my mood.  I'm in a bit of a funk, and maybe not so much looking for these particular lyrics, but the sound itself is a stress reliever.  Hope it helps you too.

Oh yea, Drake is in this song too…Enjoy!

BTW - Majid Jordan was on the song "Hold on, we're going home".  They've clearly got their sound down.  Respect!

Jaguar Wright: Self Love #tbt

This song has never stopped giving me chills.   The visceral response I receive from the lyrics alone demand I try to meet the expectations they suggest.  Does that sound crazy? Maybe....but if you can't talk to your music what do you really expect the songs to say to you?

"Caught up in a web of deception
From this $h!t I done learned new lesson
So what cha do, you keep on playing, you play on, playa..."

I need this song...and I think "need" is more important than "love".   We're all big boys and girls so I think it's alright if we agree to disagree.  But I've needed it back then when it was released and I think I need it now.  Maybe you do.  Maybe you don't.  Share it to the person you love cause they may need it too. 

"You work and work with no pay
You punch a clock but never end your day
You take vacation but your not playing
What we say by this time, here my friends, drink three
You cry, cry, revolution, but what you want is a solution
But you're more content with being a pollution
Jump in the motion, and ask the notion..."

Stay blessed.
