When in doubt, I've always turned to my favorite songstress, Ms. Jilly Scott! And tonight I'm in doubt about all this weight I'd like to loose... give or take 40 l-b's...So to end off this tasteful yet abrupt weekend, here's one of her fantastic songs i've got on rotation in my MIND! lol
Also an awesome welcome into the real flow of Spring!
Enjoy! <3
Writing my paper with the music blasting in my ears and I don't care HOW many people disagree with me. I just get this beautiful aura around me as soon as T-Pain's "Change the World" comes on. So beautiful I had to blog about it. Adapted from Eric Clapton's awesome original "Change the World", I could not be more proud of adaptations. All joke aside, the auto-tune can get on my nerve sometimes but this just really gave it a better feel. I don't know if it was the Harmony or Akon's alto in the back, but this song will always be a favorite of mine. Give it a listen below!
It has been some time since I did a weekend tune post and I've been considering a lot of throwbacks for the past week or so. Well it struck me today while I was watching a Sister, Sister marathon on centric.
Today is Christmas Day and though it didn't give off such a strong vibe in my household, it certainly did leave an aura of happiness--even between my mum and I. Anyway, I was watching the episode when Tia & Tamera has their prom and they get a shock when they find that Lisa made them prom dresses....right after they've just purchased their own dream dresses.
Besides the awesome memories Sister, Sister brought back of my own prom, it really jolted me even more when I saw that Jon B. was their celebrity appearance. And which song was he performing? None other than his hit single from 1997 "They Don't Know". Talk about such a THROWBACK!! I was too excited!
Anyway, without further ado, here is my weekend tune! Enjoy...
I can never fall out of love with Priscilla Ahn's voice and this video definitely doe not disappoint. I am sure I have posted it somewhere here on my blog but it never hurts to repost! Enjoy "Dream" below:
In just a few words, Jill Scott turns indenial acceptance into a brief moment of realization.... Just check out what I know id the truth... Her video "Hear My Call", from her new album The Light of the Sun
I've been sitting up in bed for some time now... listening to my ipod and just praying to God that it'll understand that it is after one in the morning and it'll play nothing but slow jams.
It's a long shot but for the last fifteen mins, my Ipod has been doing a pretty good job! Playing Corinne Bailey Rae's, "Another Rainy Day", Jazmine Sullivan's "Round Midnight", and one of my favorites... LAURYN HILL'S "Adam Lives in Theory"
There is so much you can learn from the lyrics on these talented Songstress'...But my lesson came from Ms. Hill, herself, because as I follow her lyrics via AZ Lyrics, I can only find myself taking mental notes.
What's the biggest lesson I've learned on this ...uneventfully, long night?
"...Now if we can agree with who created us to be
Who says we're guilty everyone before his eyes
Making no exceptions, since the day of our conception
Predisposed to hating truth, and loving lies..."
Choose your definition. I've already chosen mine =D
Ever since my bestie and sister, Lauren R.D, introduced him to me, I have been infatuated. I don't know. All I can say is the feeling was unimaginable. You ever felt like something so classic was just dying away right in front of you? Well I have felt this or R&B ever since the "Souljah Boy" characters have let themselves go--running on a rampage trying to make extinct, everything we knew and love about our Neo Soul. Hmmm.... but not this man. He's my Maxwell, if I must say.
"I thought I'd ask her out tonight
and maybe she'd say 'yes' and go.
She was way to fly for me
so we ate on the top floor
I'm hoping all this altitude would impress her even more
