This track is a bit more upbeat
then some of the other songs posted on Melodic Monday’s but the melody is still very entrancing. Ari Lennox’s lyrics take you in and wrap around you like a glove. As of 2015 the very talented Ms. Lennox was signed to J. Cole’s label Dreamville and she’s from my hometown ( Washington, DC) , which is pretty dope.
Big ups and congratulations Ari, our ears are definitely waiting to hear more of what’s to come.
This edition of Soulful Sunday’s is another hot one. The songs that I’ve selected this time around jerk at my soul ( in a good way) and I hope it does the same with yours. Press play and vibe with me
Fire Walk is off Good English’s upcoming full length album set to drop in Mid March. Fire Walk is fierce, lively and one of those songs that is just as powerful as the title itself. The trio which also happen to be sisters are also set to perform this song and a host of other hits this March on the SXSW stages. Can you say a big deal?? Just thinking about it gets me excited.
For all you rockers, headbangers and punk rockers out there Good English is on the rise and most definitely has something to say. Press play and get a taste of their sassiness with their latest single
Well today was Monday and its coming to an end. I know some of you are happy about that, Monday isn’t the most liked day out of the week. I’m trying a new thing though and thats to embrace Monday as any other day. Sure it comes right after the weekend and you would rather get another day of sleep, but try looking at things a bit differently. There are seven days in a week to live life to its fullest and we shouldn’t waste energy complaining when we could just live and be happy every day. So I challenge you from this day on to greet Monday with a smile. Here’s a few songs that I listened to today, press play and vibe with me
I’m a huge fan of R&B music and when the opportunity came to write about this group I jumped at the chance. The once duo has just recently added a new member completing their group and giving Soundz of RNB and even finer tune. Each solo member has been singing for quite some time and all have the singing chops we have grown accustomed to when listening to R&B music.
Soundz OF RNB’s mission is “To revive the popularity of R&B music, while adding a Hip-Hop edge.” There latest release No Luv Lost is out now and available on all music outlets. The group has a few shows lined up this month: January 21st in Atlanta, Georgia @Suede Lounge, January 25th the Hip Hop seazon showcase in Queens, NY and January 29th @ the Culture Coffee Shop in NW DC. If you’re in any of those areas be sure to stop by and check them out. Soundz of RNB are driven and talented which is needed in this industry. My ears are open to hear what’s next!!!!!
To connect with the trio you can find them on Facebook , Soundcloud and Instagram. You can also connect with Soundz OF RNB on their Official Website
Beautifully Broken
Walls were built to crumble, walls were built to break but the wall I built around my heart was such a big mistake. Denying myself of the love I felt but blind to see what it truly means.
My past it haunts me everyday in everyway. I try to pretend that I’m not scared and I’m ok but my heart has chosen. It can’t be opened I’m trying to change but I’m beautifully broken.
Lost inside my mind. Is how I’d pass the time. Not thinking about what’s in front of me created a false reality. Denying myself of the love I felt but blind to see what it truly means.
My past it haunts me everyday in every way. I try to pretend that I’m not scared and I’m ok. But my heart has chosen it can’t be opened I’m trying to change but I’m beautifully broken.
False starts and opened scars all make up my broken heart to pierce the core take me apart and show the flaws.
My past it haunts me everyday in every way. I try to pretend that I’m not scared and I’m ok. My heart has chosen it can be opened decided to change although I’m beautifully broken.

As I sit here and write this I am filled with emotion. If anyone told me I would be blogging now I wouldn’t have believed them, for this was never in the plan. However. I am so glad that I started. I have discovered parts of myself that I never knew existed. This is truly a step in faith and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to a beautiful journey. I’ve decided to compile a playlist and add videos of all the artists I have interviewed/featured on my blog this year. You all have made my year and I wish you much success in your own personal journey’s, not just in music but in life as a whole. You’ve made my first year as a blogger very rewarding and I am so happy to have met you!!! I say to 2015 thank you for everything, the ups the downs and everything in between. Here’s to 2016!!!!!!!!
Another great interview for the record books. I’m grateful I was able to sit down with a very humble and faith driven man. His life is a true example of his faith. To connect with Jon Kendall you can follow him on Instagram Twitter and Facebook

So I’ve decided to switch it up and not add a playlist this week. However, I will be posting a couple songs that I’ve discovered this week that I’ve really enjoyed. The first is by a band called Kodaline and the song is High Hopes. The other song is by a singer that goes by the name of Jarell Perry and the song is called All Aboard. Both songs touched me and I just had to share. Click the links below and enjoy. If there’s any artist you haven’t heard or seen on the blog that you want up here, let me know and I can make it happen. Thank you all for reading and I hope the rest of your week is great!!!
