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 :)

MUSIC: Blast From The Past

Lips Of An Angel - Hinder

Honey why you calling me so late?

It's kinda hard to talk right now.

Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?

I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room

Sometimes I wish she was you

I guess we never really moved on

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight

And, yes, I've dreamt of you too

And does he know you're talking to me

Will it start a fight

No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room

Sometimes I wish she was you

I guess we never really moved on

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

MUSIC: My All Time Favorite Afro Beats, 2013.

It’s a few more days to the end of the year and I’d like to share with you my all-time favourite songs by African musicians. I’m African myself, Zambian to be exact. So today, I will share with you musical styling’s from the mother land. I’ll categorise the songs according to countries and I’ll also put the links so that it’s easy for you to listen. These aren’t all songs from the year 2013 but songs I’ve come to love. Enjoy!
