Nine Yards - Always Find A Way (Jay Dee Remix)

Esperanza Spalding - Smile Like That (Live from KCRW)
I absolutely adore this performance of probably my favourite track from Radio Music Society.
Pure.Raw.Perfection.
I’m going to spend the next 30 mins watching the full performance here…you should too.
Soul II Soul - Keep On Movin’
Classic.
I will always post about Emily King and her amazing self!
She posted the instrumentals to her superb The Seven EP earlier this morning via her youtube channel and I’m here listening with the biggest smile on my face and a warm heart.
I’ve always appreciated the music that comes from this EP but the instrumentals alone make it all the more special.
If you’ve not yet listened to her EP then do yourself a favour and head over to her bandcamp.
For all of you who’ve heard and love the album (or not), wrap your ears and mind around the No More Room instrumental above.

Thundercat - Walkin’ (Official Video) HD (by thundercattheamazing)
That dude Thundercat drops some suitably off the wall visuals for one of my favourite cuts on his stellar LP, The Golden Age of the Apocolypse.

So didja hear that Maxwell is going back on tour?!? Didja also hear that he’s going to perform ALL of his full albums during the tour?!? Get the full story here.
*Prays he comes to London with this tour!*
Never be afraid of lovin’ someone so much you feel like your heart might burst. Win or lose, that is an amazing moment to be a part of
Change is often resisted when it is needed the most. The most common and harmful addiction in the world is the draw of comfort.
Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone. Stepping outside of your comfort zone will put things into perspective from an angle you can’t grasp now.
Common - I Want You
Tune.
People are not as beautiful as they look, as they walk, or as they talk. They are only as beautiful as they love, as they care, and as they share.

Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Maybe no-one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold, black gold, you are black gold
Now maybe no-one else has ever told you so
But you’re golden baby, black gold with a diamond soul
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men, builders of civilization
They’ll be folks hell-bent on putting you down, don’t get burned
Not necessarily everyone will know your worth
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men, builders of civilization
Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Maybe no-one else will tell you so remember that
You are black gold, black gold, you are Black Gold.

When I am lost you shine a light for me and set me free
When I am low you wash away my tears and take me through
The loneliness and emptiness through the darkest night
Somehow I survive through it all
When you tell me I’m the only one you need sweet and tenderly
And your love breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee
If I should fall your love is strong enough to lift me up
If I’m afraid you chase away my fears and take me to
A brighter place beyond the rain and I feel alright
Because you’re by my side through it all.
