I simply adore Miguel's voice and his music. I am yet to see him perform live in the flesh; I have seen him perform live online and it was amazing. Took my breathe away. This song just touches my soul every single time.

Rick Ross - Aston Martin Music ft. Drake, Chrisette Michele
I like Rick Ross, although I'm not too sure why. Truth be told, it may actually be because of two of my friends who impersonated Rick Ross. Something about that voice (*insert RR grunt). Anyways, enjoy the song!

Day Six! - 30 Day Challenge
Your views on mainstream music
Sigh. This is going to be a difficult one. As with everything in life, there is good and there is bad. I think the majority of mainstream music is a bunch of crap. By mainstream I mean what's played ont he radio, because in my mind there is rock mainstream if you listen to a rock station or you're a fan of rock, etc for each genre out there. But if you turn on a "regular" radio station I think the majority of the music is crappy.
Music once had a message of truth, a story of love, a movement for action. Now music just says do stupidness. There is a good bit of music that should be "mainstream" or rather should get more publicity, more airtime but is not, for whatever reason. There are so many artists that have a good, positive message that can uplift society, but instead the radio constantly pays shake your ass, in the club hooking up, thug life, and the works.
My views on mainstream music is that there are a few needles made of gold hidden within the piles a rotting hay. What are your views on mainstream music? Feel free to share! If you're leaving a comment with an anonymous profile, feel free to leave a name or initials or something.

Frank Ocean
I know some people must being saying Oh Lord this girl late you know! She now talking about Ocean. Cha man! True, I may be late but that doesn't mean I can't!
In case you were like me and never saw a pic of him, this is what he looks like. I won't lie, for some odd reason I thought the guy was Caucasian! I have noooo idea why. Anyway, Frank Ocean is this guy who is making waves with his delicious music. Frank Ocean, legally known as Christopher Breaux, is a 24 year old song writer from Louisiana. I love his music. It's somehow very comforting to me. Thus far my favourite songs from him are: Nature Feels, Swim Good, If I'm In Love, There Will Be Tears and Novacane.
If you haven't, I would suggest giving him a listen. You can always start by listening to my favs hahaha.
Do you love Frank Ocean? Lemme know! Drop a line in the comments below and let me know which songs you adore! Happy listening kids!

Featured Artist: Kaylon Lovence [Coming Soon]
Hey everyone! I've got some exciting news for you!! I'm featuring another Saint Lucian artist doing their thing in the world.
I present to you Kaylon Lovence. Here's a quick bio of Kaylon. Interview coming soon...stay tuned for it
Kaylon is a young Musician born on a small island of Saint Lucia. Kaylon is an arranger, writer and a self taught guitarist who graduated from St Lucia School of Music at the age of 19. During his time at the music school he has opened stages at KALALU and St Lucia Jazz Festival for Richard Boner, Maxi Prist, Steel Pulse and St Lucia very own Ronald Boo Hinkson . After graduating Kaylon joined a rock band called RICOCHET. In his years playing with this band he developed his musical tastes and interests. It wasn’t long after picking up a guitar that he was experimenting with words and arrangements of his own, all of which have had a profound influence on the direction his musical journey has taken. He is best known for his musical arrangements by working with the company TEMPEST, Heights Production and Studio9 and currently working with song writer Christopher Hunte founder of the company TEMPEST. After realizing that making music was his main goal, he began to showcase his talent at various venues in Saint Lucia. He was quickly noted for the unique style which was influenced by his favorites and mentors: the great Sting, Norman Brown, BB King, Jimi Hendricks, The Edge and Joe Satriani. Kaylon played at numerous gigs including the St Lucia Jazz Festival where he played alongside St Lucia’s well known guitarist Ronald Boo Hinkson, and at Headphunk where he really expresses his style, his way of poetry and art in the way he plays. Kaylon's arrangement history spans several contemporary music genres, including hip hop, R&B, zouk, rock, and dancehall. Kaylon is a rare commodity coming out of St Lucia by not recreating what’s already present in the wide world of music but matching up to its standards of arrangements and writing in the music that he produce.

Timothy Bloom - 'Til The End Of Time ft. V
WOW. I mean you have to watch this twice. Once with your eyes open and once with your eyes closed. Putting the specimen of black beauty aside this song is wonderful and powerful. I'm going to keep my eye out for this guy right here.
Enjoy!

The Power of Music
Last night I was on an amazing high. No, I did not smoke, drink, have sex or eat chocolate. I was just listening to some good music.
Growing up in the Saint Lucia I know and love Zouk music. I don't know anyone who doesn't like zouk, but I'm sure there are people who do. Anyway, last night my high came from listening to zouk and kompas for about 2 hours! Yes, yes, two hours isn't that much but two hours after finding great music on my external hard drive means the buzz of the discovery plus the ou-la-lar suave of the zouk meant that I was all smiles from ear to ear.
If you've never listened to zouk, or you can't get enough, here are a few links of some great songs. You don't have to know what they are saying for you to enjoy the music.
It's amazing how music can evoke mood. I hope you get up and bust a move to these tracks.
Feel free to share your favourite song(s) with me. You can post links to the videos or the Name and singer in the comments.
Blessed Love!
