Too little too late

I was a little late to get my hands on this album, as it was released in 2015 and I don't even know why, cause Joss Stone was one of my favorites, whom I've also got the chance to enjoy live in 2009. But you know what they say, better late than never. I'm still enjoying its soulful, reggae, dubbish, rnb tunes and the beautiful voice of Joss Stone, who was just 17 when she released her first album and was one of my first album reviews as a music critic back then.

These are my two favorites: a loving reggae, summerish tune and a more fierce, dubby one.

Dream prelude

Nujabes is a Japanese hip-hop producer and dj who, sadly, I wasn't aware of till about 3 or 4 weeks ago, when this lovely gem reached my ears and made it through my top introduction-to-dreams tune.

Tragic thing is that as I was searchin' through his music tryin' to get to know him through his dope beats, I found out that he's no longer with us, as of 2010. So I guess I'll be hangin' around in his soundcloud page for a while, making up for lost time.

Freaking back

After two weeks full of pictures, sand, laughter, swimming, sun, rest, food, drinks, books, coffee and loads of good music and love, I'm back to my base, charged and all, carrying among other things an ear infection as a souvenir. So I might have a defective right ear at the moment, but I can certainly hear the sweet sound of The Emotions.

The sisters along with a little help from Earth Wind & Fire really get it on. My ear just popped!

Dude's track

If I were a dude I'd definitely make good use of this tune to get the chick I'd have my eyes on -and probably fail dramatically with this sound in 2014.

But since I ain't, I'll still make good use of this awesome rare track by relaxing and enjoyin' it, the few hours I have free these days.

Still a man's world

One of the greatest songs ever written, sung and performed is being a little bit -actually a lot- reformed so as to fit into the house music norms.

This is the Sound Diggers' take on James Brown's "It's a man's man's man's world". I admit it won't make me forget the original version -I believe nothing ever will and I don't think anyone will attempt that- but it's a decent job, able to bring this tune into the dancefloors for those can't dance to the blues.

1979 man!

I always thought 1979 was da year. Apart from the fact that me and most of my favorite people were born back then (waaaay back then), it was the year that gave me some of my favorite classics like McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't no stoppin' us now, Chic - Good times, Positive force - We got the funk, Isley brothers - It's a disco night, Ashford & Simpson - Found a cure, Donna Summer - Bad girls, Michael Jackson - Off the wall, Gene Chandler - When you 're #1, GQ - Disco nights, Delegation - Heartache No.9, Stargard - Wear it out and hundreds of others that I can't exactly organize in my mind and put down right now.

Recently, I heard a track that I've never heard before and proved me right once again.

Holy shit!
