Having a Little ‘Sugar with a Pill’ with Slowdive
Slowdive has a moody atmospheric sound in this recording. There’s an uneasiness to it yet mesmeric and translating. It’s wonderfully not overstated but rings a sufficient energy to be captivated. I enjoy what Stephen Thompson of NPR has to say …
It ‘Figures’ — Jessie Reyez
Nearly 15 million views on YouTube — she must be doing something “right”. ‘Figures’ is a host of unapologetic language as real as life. She doesn’t pull any punches in her prose. The cinematography in this video is symbolically chaotic. It mirrors well how loving someone can feel. Her delivery in this video doesn’t feel […]
Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals
Anderson Paak seems to do it all – drummer, singer, writer, melodious rapper, producer. Accompanied with his talented crew, Paak’s performance is wonderfully effortless and honest yet not without a sense of humor. His energy is unchained. He seems to do whatever he feels
‘Beat the Bullies’ with James Arthur and One Brave Chloe
amazon.co.uk This is what I’m talking about right here! These moments like the ones in this video speak to the deepest parts of my heart and reverberate with its echoes. A young girl named Chloe had so much to give , with all her light, love and wonder, found her self on the receiving end […]
‘Lucky’ in the Subway
Man! 2.4 million ‘reactions’ later — these guys know how to pick a person up! Loving this brass and drum ensemble. I’m smiling and chuckling in my heart from start to finish as their music echoes down corridors of the subway. I see more and more footage of these gents popping up, and they are everywhere. […]
May You Wake to Find You Are ‘Kings and Queens’
Have you ever felt stuck in … “the in-between”? (Ha! Yeah, how many times, right?)
‘Walk a Mile in Another Man’s Shoes’ – The New Respects
The New Respects, an homage to throwback rock n’ roll, with high energy seem to have a message from the heart they intend on taking as far as the world as possible. Their music is threaded with acceptance, love and a wider perspective. “Shoes” (Album: Here Comes Trouble) is
‘I’m Like a Star That Hasn’t Paid My Own Light Bill’ – Tank
Just because I couldn’t get enough of Tarriona Ball (‘Tank’, artist of Tank and the Bangas) the first time around, I could barely fit in my seat to contain myself when I stumbled across this video. (Thank you, again, Stylelikeu.com ! There was a part 2?) She’s bone-chillingly vulnerable. In heart-churning pros, she undresses her […]
It’s Do or Die – Tarriona ‘Tank’ Ball
I watched with tears and rented heart as ‘Tank’ shed her clothes article by article. She is more than style. More than her big hair. More than her layers of scarves. More than multi-colored stripped socks stretched to her knees. Than her large vintage glasses her smiling ears showed through. So, piece by piece, they […]
They’re Not Just Another Sister Band (Joseph, the Band)
Joseph – a sister trio—has a bit of an old school Mumford and Sons feel as they strip it down to bare bones with just an acoustic and their voices. Meegan Closner, Allison Closner, Natalie Closner hail from Portland, Oregon with their pop-folk sound. There’s something rich here in their declarative “White Flag”, which kicks off the […]
