Salaam Remi: More than Music Feat. Lemar

What's the first word (or words) that comes to mind when you think of Salaam Remi? Producer.  Keyboardist.  Hip Hop.  Strong album?   While he's worked with artists like Nas, Fugees, Jazmine Sullivan and Alicia Keys...did you know he dropped an album of his own in 2013?  Well this is one of the songs that moves me and on Valentine's day it felt right to give it a listen.

The title says it all and if you are creative, you know what it's like to put NOTHING before your craft.  Rightly so.  But what happens when someone inspires you so much it just organically happens?  I'll tell you what happens...you get this song.  N' it's GOOD.  The song I mean (the love can be too). 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

BTW- Honorable mention to Neyo "Stay" feat. Peedi Crack. Just add them both to your playlist.  You deserve it Happy Valentine's Day. ;-)

Alessia Cara: "I'm Yours"

Okay… I like this song.  A lot.  I don’t know why.  Maybe it’s the catchy beat.  Maybe it’s the lyrics

“Some nerve you have
To break up my lonely
And tell me you want me
How dare you march into my heart
Oh how rude of you”

Yea…this woman has some heat in her pen.  Her album discusses young love more than anything but some lyrics may soothe some of the oldest of souls.  This song can help me pick up my energy or feel like the love in your life is just right.

“And I wasn't trying to fall in love but boy you pushed me

So all that I'm asking

Is that you handle me with caution

Cause I don't give myself often

But I guess I'll try today”

creepy man in a tree: casual Sunday. that's my brother playing the unwanted love interest lol.
