WRITING: Christmas Challenge 2014

'Tis the season everyone! Merry Christmas :) I hope you all had yourselves a wonderful 25th. So, I'll get right into this. Instagram was abuzz yesterday (Christmas) with dance videos to Chingy's "Right Thurr". Y'all remember it, right?

"There’s nothing like an Instagram challenge to keep us all the way entertained. On Christmas, a dance-off of sorts popped off on the popular social media site. Titled #ChristmasChallenge, a dance choreographer named Woody McClain posted a clip of him dancing to Chingy’s ‘Right Thurr’. Chris Brown caught wind of the challenge and participated, which spiraled into a number of folk participating including a few celebrities like Lil Mama; Tank; Justin Bieber; Affion Crockett; Lala and her family; boxer Adrian Broner and Shaunie O’Neal and her family."

MUSIC: Tough Love

 

I only came across  the marvel that is Jessie Ware whilst on one of may many YouTube excursions. So there I was, sitting in front of my laptop thinking of what songs to listen to. I hardly ever scroll through the YouTube home page but last night I did. Boy oh boy! Was I glad I did. Call it luck but Jessie Ware 'You & I (Forever)' featured and for some reason I was compelled to play it. Trust me when I say this, I immediately fell in love with it.

This post is on her second studio album 'Tough Love'. I have two favorites being 'Say You Love Me' and 'You & I (Forever)'. Please do have a listen. It's absolutely a beautiful album. I've played it quite a few times now. Sorry Ed, I'll have to put 'X' on hold for now.. Don't worry, I'll still be sure to show some love :)
