Sharing the feelings of so many, HEAD OVER HEELS shows that love isn't easy to turn off

 

"We've been apart more than we've been together."

Even when we know relationships are over it's not easy to let them go. I've been there. Most of us probably have been. That is why Sophie Ann's single HEAD OVER HEELS is so powerful. It shows that even when the one we love has moved on---even when it's for the best---there is still hurt and feelings there.

Beautiful and haunting, the feeling of not being able to 'let go', calling on that one even when we know better is real and human. And that is what makes this song something you can keep on regular rotation in your playlist. Time heals wounds, but it's still a process. Love isn't easy to turn off.

Javon Inman's TODAY IS MY DAY reminds us that everything is about God's timing

 

So many great reminders in this song by Javon Inman. The main thing for me is to realize that no matter how long the journey takes our hard work and perseverance is not forgotten by God. He sees what we do, and He rewards our faithfulness. As Javon admits in this song sometimes we're not ready for what is meant for us. We have to mature and be prepared to receive it.

Great reminder any time of the year for sure. If we do the work God is sure to bless our efforts.

TJ Jackson's OBSESSION shows that guys can be open about their feelings, too

 So many times us guys get a bad rap when it comes to expressing how we really feel about someone we love. That is not the case when it comes to TJ Jackson. In OBSESSION he makes it very clear that the lady in his life is all that he needs.

After expressing that he can't get her off his mind, he goes on to let her know that he's not ashamed to say he is lost when it comes to her. "You are perfection, your walk and your smile," he proclaims. "Nothing else matter 'cause it's just you and I."

Showing that laying it all on the line can be a good thing, TJ Jackson's OBSESSION is all about letting that one you love know how you feel.

The BEST OF YOU is all about loving someone in spite of their flaws

 The first time I heard of this song was on Instagram. I then had to go over and get it for myself. This message is so powerful. Andy Grammer and Elle King are a great match for this message. It's all about loving someone for who they are and what they can be. "The best of me loves the best of you, and all the rest I can see right through." That means we choose to allow love to overcome flaws and focus on the great things about the ones we love.

We don't run because things get tough. We realize that we can be bigger than anything that comes our way. Regardless of the season we can trust in them, and they know they can do the same with us. That is what love is.

Miley Cyrus shines in EDGE OF MIDNIGHT: Tough, Fearless and Free

 I'm not afraid to say that I've been a fan of Miley Cyrus for YEARS, and it's been great to see her style evolve and grow over the year.

In EDGE OF MIDNIGHT we are getting the latest reinvention: a Miley Cyrus that is tough, fearless and free. She's able to go after what she wants unafraid. What I love is when she says that she doesn't need to be loved by us. She doesn't need our permission. She's gotten to a place where she's happy with herself---and that is better than having the approval of others any day.

Love everything about this song, and having Stevie Nicks on it is the icing on the cake.

First UNDERDOG and now GOOD JOB. Alicia Keys is giving us the inspiration soundtrack of 2020

 

As soon as I heard this song I knew it was something I had to add to my playlist. It is really celebrating those that are keeping the world turning on earth right now: those who don't normally get recognized, those who work long hours and don't get remembered. Now, though, we can't help but recognize them, and Keys' GOOD JOB does that in such a big way.

"Don't get too down," she says to them. That is so important as it is not easy to be in a position where people's livelihood and even their lives may depend on you. "Know that you matter," she reminds them. Even when it doesn't seem like it with the long days.

Words matter, and as she says we don't know if they can feel the impact of them, but we appreciate each and every one of them. This song is going to be seen as one of the anthems of 2020 for sure, and Alicia Keys delivers it as only she can.

Alicia Keys' UNDERDOG shows that even if you may go unnoticed never give up on yourself

 

There are so many things to love about this song. The first thing is that it's for us: all of us who have been overlooked, talked down to and who were told that what we wanted couldn't be achieved. It's for all of those who may at times feel invisible. Alicia Keys shows that the important thing is that we never give up on ourselves.

The chorus says it all: "This goes out to the underdog. Keep on keeping at what you love. You'll find that someday soon enough you will rise up."

I think there is also a secondary message in this song that I didn't get at first. Keys says twice "The things that change us when we look up sometimes." This is a not so subtle reminder that sometimes we are so into our own lives and our devices that we miss out on what is right in front of us. May we do our part to encourage others. Who knows: it might be just the word they need to keep going.
