What happens when Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Mariah Carey come together? A song you can't help but keep rocking your playlist.
SOMEWHAT LOVED is a song that I and so many others can relate to: it's all about going through the motions when the love is gone and the decision that has to be made to save yourself. Love is not easy, but the aftermath can also be scary.
As the song says, however, you have to do what is right for your soul, and a lot of times that means saying goodbye.
Neoni is such a talented group that anything they put out normally speaks to me in some form or fashion. MUTINY is no different. It's all about embracing your power and independence, not going along with others expect.
When you get ready to rise up and take what is yours that is when the mutiny begins, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop you. "There's nothing you can do to me," they sing, and that is right. When we realize what we can do and then make our minds up to do it that is when the fun begins.
Scripture tells us that God is LOVE, and with the L.O.V.E. remix recording artist Carl Brister reminds us that LOVE is that thing we need to set things right. With so many issues in the world right now this song shows that love is the key to changing things---and that takes work from us all.
Regardless the problem we face L.O.V.E. is the answer. Coupled with compassion and understanding it can lead to the change that we all want to see.
We've all experienced it a time or two: what we are willing to do for the one we love is not reciprocated.
In I FEEL FOR YOU Baker Grace shows that when you are doing all you can it's not enough if the person you're with is willing to throw it all away. It's not enough for just one to be all in. The song shows that you can feel for someone, but they have to be willing to do their part.
There's got to be a better way she sings, but the ONLY WAY it works is if the other person wants it to.
This is not a song about a happy ending. It's about life: the messiness of it that doesn't always come out the way you'd like. We keep going, knowing that every day will not be perfect. "You have to win before you can lose" he sings, reminding us that all of us experience the hit and miss of life. What matters is what we do with it.
When life comes together it is like a song being created, giving us that melody that we can go along with. Love how the artists are able to craft a story that shows that life can be magical, if we choose to make it so.
Today we can all make our own music, and life can be a melody we can enjoy and share.
Canaan Cox is one of those artists that can make a song really live, and UP WITH THE SUN is an example of that.
It's all about taking that chance, asking for that dance and spending that time with the one you care about. Love that it's all about just having a good time and getting lost in that time with someone.
Something you can jam with by yourself or with others, UP WITH THE SUN shows how we can get lost in the music and love.
I first heard of this song because of a social media post. I then headed over to purchase it for myself, and now it's a part of my playlist. Bentlee's MY ALMOST is all about that love that we had that has come seemingly to it's end---but is not so easy to left go.
I love that she talks about it seemed so short-lived but it still made its impact. Is this the way it's supposed to be, she asks. Are we not supposed to be? That is the question we find ourselves asking at times.
Beautifully presented and something that is so relatable for men and women, MY ALMOST is the story of a love that was and is no more... At least for now.
Every song I have heard by Antoine Dunn tells a story you're not soon to forget. LOSE IT ALL is another example of that.
He has a way of bringing you into the music, making you feel what he is singing about. In this one it's about love and loss, hurt and healing. It's something that is universal that all of us can relate to, and that is why music lovers gravitate to him time and again.
For those looking for a song that talks about the importance of being in love and finding the strength to move forward then LOSE IT ALL is sure to speak to you.
Fear, doubt and insecurities are all things that will choke out the light that is within us. With HEADSPACE Riley Clemmons shows that we have to make the decision to say no to them and move forward, never looking back.
Using the experiences as lessons she sings that she's stronger because of them but they are never going to see her heart break. So many ways this song can go, but I love the fact that the message is let go of anything and everything that is not serving you well.
This is the time for you to move forward and walk in your God-given purpose. The only way to do that is to protect your peace and your headspace, not letting in anything that can do more harm than good.
Love the energy of the song and the way it asks all the right questions when it comes to where we are in the world, asking us to think about what would happen if we just tried to love and trust one another more.
This is sure to be that kind of song that will bring together people of different backgrounds and ages, allowing us to see the wisdom of opening up our minds and heart to working together instead of against one another.
The call to action for us at just the right time, LOVE ONE ANOTHER is a go-to song for the year that is 2021.
After discovering Trynket it has been great to see her give her hit after hit, bringing different tones with every song. NEVERLAND is another example of her talent as an artist. Featuring Burnt Ships the song is all about that feeling of love and belonging we feel with someone we are drawn to.
Love the way their voices blend together, telling a story that so many can relate to. It's all about that escape that love can bring, and the way it can take us away from all the mess around us. We all deserve a little neverland in our lives.
For those of us who have made mistakes in relationships or wish we could have a do-over with certain situations CHANGE YOUR MIND by Caleb Lovely is sure to strike a chord.
I love that us guys have songs we can turn to that voice our feelings and what we're going through. We also hurt, feel regret and at times want to make things right if we can. That is what CHANGE YOUR MIND is all about: wondering if there is a way we can get back to where we were or better.
Love the way it comes together, in no way making excuses. It's just about saying what we feel, and that is something we as men don't always do.
Leave it to Neoni to take a world we equate with all the great things and remind us through their catchy lyrics that all that glitters is not gold.
There are dark elements to everything we see, lurking around the corners. We have to be cautious that we don't get caught up in the hype. We just might lose ourselves in the process.
A fun song that shares the truth about the "freak show" that is the celebrity world we see spotlighted as the good life. Don't trust everything that you see. You're much better staying true to yourself.
It's one of those songs that can be spiritual as well as enduring. RIGHT ONE by Chante' Moore talks about being disappointed in the past and then finding the right one that changes everything.
For some that might be a real person that can make them feel whole. For others it is about their faith and how it completes them.
Love that it's a song that meets you where you are. You can feel good listening to it and get a message that reminds you that you can find the love that you want.
When it comes to singer/songwriters Teddy Swims is the real deal.
SIMPLE THINGS is that song that reminds you of the people and things that really matter in life, and that have made you who you are.
When you have big dreams and want to find your way out of the current situation you're in, it's good to remember the power of the simple things. "All the time you can waste trying to chase what you never need, hope you come back around to simple things," he sings. That message sticks out in so many ways.
A great song that will make you appreciate all that life has given you. With SIMPLE THINGS Teddy Swims delivers a song that will stick with you.
When I first heard this single I knew it was going to be an anthem of empowerment and it didn't disappoint.
MILLION TO ONE shows that even when the odds are against you never stop betting on yourself. If someone is going to win then make sure you are the one that you are rooting for. Times might get difficult, but that doesn't mean you can still make it.
As part of the theme of the entire CINDERELLA movie MILLION TO ONE is a message that all the characters find themselves embracing.
Leave it to Adele to come back on the music scene with a song that is real, relatable and a must for your playlist.
EASY ON ME is all about US. Instead of focusing on what others have done, she reflects on her own decisions and mistakes and what she could have done differently to make the outcome better. I love that and connect with it on a deep level, as I know what it's like to not always want to say what I could have done better.
We have to also ask for others to 'be easy on us' as we are all imperfect and not going to do things the right way. That should also prompt us to go easy on others.
Just what I needed to hear, EASY ON ME is a song you'll love to listen to over and over.
We all know that feeling of wanting things to be the way they used to---whether we're the one who may have caused the issue or were affected by what another did to us. As guys we are sometimes told that we don't express what we feel when it comes to relationships, but Nate has no problem letting it be known in this song, giving the rest of us a blueprint of how we can do the same.
A song of reflection coupled with the perfect beat, Nate Gott's USED TO shows he can deliver a message and a flow listeners will love.
